KURIAKOSE & C.K.ABDUL REHIM, JJ. ----------------------------------------------- LAA. No. 1043 of 2009 ----------------------------------------------- Dated this the 27th day of May, 2010 J U D G M E N T Pius C.Kuriakose, J. Even though Smt. Latha T.Thankappan, Senior Govt. Pleader addressed strenuous arguments before us on the basis of the various grounds raised in the appeal memo, we don't find justification for interfering with the impugned judgment. The property was in Vanchiyoor Village and the acquisition was for the purpose of LMS-Attakulangara Road for TRIDA. The L.A. Officer awarded land value at the rate of Rs.4,52,833/- per Are. The reference court on evaluating the evidence which came on record re-fixed the land value at Rs.8,16,000/- per Are. Taking into account the importance of the locality and the decision taken by this Court in respect of properties in the same Village acquired more or less at the same time, we are of the view that it is more or less the correct market value of the property that LAA. No. 1043/09 -2- is arrived at by the learned Sub Judge. The appeal stands dismissed. No costs. (PIUS C.KURIAKOSE, JUDGE) (C.K.ABDUL REHIM, JUDGE) ksv/-
