PIUS C.KURIAKOSE & K.SURENDRA MOHAN, JJ. ------------------------------------------- L.A.Appeal No.925 of 2006 ------------------------------------------- Dated this the Ist day of October, 2009 JUDGMENT Pius C.Kuriakose,J. This appeal is remaining in the defect list. Having gone through the impugned judgment, we are of the view that the appeal can be decided on merits in favour of the respondents immediately. The acquisition of land was in Kanakkari Village for the formation of MVIP Canal. Section-4(1) notification was published on 9.2.2000. The Land Acquisition Officer awarded land value at the rate of Rs.16,400/- per Are. The reference court under the impugned judgment evaluated the evidence adduced by the parties and re- fixed the land value at Rs.9840/- per Are. 2. Having gone through the impugned judgment, we are of the view that it is more or less the correct market value of the land under acquisition at the relevant time which has been arrived at by the learned subordinate judge. We do not find any warrant for interference. The appeal is dismissed. No costs. PIUS C.KURIAKOSE, JUDGE K.SURENDRA MOHAN, JUDGE css/
