SRI.SUBHASH CYRIAC FOR R1 THIS LAND ACQUISITION APPEAL HAVING BEEN FINALLY HEARD ON 20/08/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: PIUS C.KURIAKOSE & K.SURENDRA MOHAN, JJ. ------------------------ L.A.A.No.301 OF 2008 ------------------------ Dated this the 20th day of August, 2009 JUDGMENT Pius C.Kuriakose, J. Even though Smt.Latha T.Thankappan, learned senior Government Pleader addresses us on the various grounds raised in this appeal, having gone through the impugned judgment and having heard the submissions of the learned counsel for the party respondent, we are of the view that enhancement granted by the reference court cannot be said to be excessive. The Government Pleader would fairly argue that it is exorbitant enhancement that is granted towards the value of the building which existed on the acquired property. Though we notice some merits in the above submission, we find that in this appeal the Government has not raised any specific ground challenging the enhancement granted towards the building value. Under the above circumstances, we are unable to accept the argument of the learned Government Pleader. The appeal will stand dismissed. No costs. PIUS C.KURIAKOSE,JUDGE K.SURENDRA MOHAN, JUDGE dpk
