Dated this the 14th day of December, 2011. JUDGMENT Pius C. Kuriakose, J. The learned counsel for the respondents has sought for an adjournment. We are not inclined to grant adjournment, but as rightly pointed out by Sri. C.R. Shyam Kumar, learned Senior Government Pleader the issue is already decided in view of the judgment of this Court in LAA.No.1085/2008 and several other similar judgments. The learned Senior Government Pleader placed before us a copy of the judgment in LAA.No.1085/2008. We are convinced that the issue is covered in favour of the Government. Following that judgment, we allow this appeal and refix the market value of the land under acquisition at Rs.18,90,000/- per Are from the rate presently awarded. The appeal is allowed as above, however, without any order as to costs. We have not interfered with the cost which was awarded by the trial court in favouar of the respondents. PIUS C. KURIAKOSE, JUDGE. K. HARILAL, JUDGE. cl
