These appeals arise out of the common judgment in L.A.R.No.21/2001 and connected cases on the file of the Sub Court, Kottayam. The acquisition is for the construction of Water Treatment Plant. It is brought to our notice that there is no appeal against L.A.R.No.21/2001. It is seen from the records that the enhancement is only 23% which, in the facts and circumstances of the case, according to us, is only reasonable. The claimant was examined and Ext.A1 sale deed was proved through him. There is no contra evidence other than the records of the acquisitioning authority. The fixation of land value thus made by the reference court being just, proper and reasonable, there is no merit in these appeals. They are accordingly dismissed.
