Thankappan, the learned senior Government Pleader fairly brought to our notice that this Court has already approved enhancement in land value for the same acquisition from Rs.1,56,831/- per Are to Rs.6 lakhs per Are. If that be so, according to us, there is no warrant for interference in this case where the land value has been enhanced from Rs.1,64,673/- per Are to Rs.6 lakh per Are. The acquisition was for widening of road from Karamana to Killippalam. In other words, the land under acquisition was already enjoying direct frontage of the road. We L. A. A. No.1377 of 2008 -2- do not find any warrant for interference. The appeal will stand dismissed. No costs. PIUS C. KURIAKOSE JUDGE K. SURENDRA MOHAN JUDGE kns/-
