No. 1019 of 2009 ----------------------------------------------- Dated this the 20th day of August, 2011 J U D G M E N T Pius C.Kuriakose, J. Having regard to the submissions addressed before us by Sri.V.T.K. Mohanan, learned Govt. Pleader and Sri. Lal George, learned counsel for the claimant, we find it difficult to accept the submission of Mr. Lal George that there is justification for awarding to the respondent more than what this court was awarded to the claimant in LAA. No. 1096 of 2010. This court has to maintain uniformity and consistency as far as possible between compensation awarded for identical properties acquired for the same purpose, pursuant to same notification. Following the judgment in LAA. No. 1096/10 we allow this appeal re-fixing the market value of the properties under acquisition at Rs.18 lakhs per Are. The parties are directed to suffer their respective costs. The claimant respondent will be entitled for all statutory benefits LAA.1019/09 -2- admissible under Section 23(1A), 23(2) and Section 28 of the Land Acquisition Act.
