C.M.Appln.No.2306/2008: This is an application to condone the delay of 512 days in filing the appeal. The appeal is filed against the judgment and decree in L.A.R. No.204/2002 on the file of the Additional Sub Court, Kottayam. Acquisition is for the purpose of Muvattupuzha Valley Irrigation Project. 2. It is seen that the enhancement is only 60% over the land value fixed by the Land Acquisition Officer. It is brought to our notice that in several cases this Court has sustained such fixation by granting enhancement at the rate of 60%. Therefore, the application for condonation of delay and the appeal are dismissed. I.A.No.5030/2008: Dismissed. KURIAN JOSEPH JUDGE K.T. SANKARAN JUDGE smp KURIAN JOSEPH & K.T. SANKARAN, JJ. L.A.A.
