These are appeals filed by the State aggrieved by the fixation of land value by the reference court - Sub Court, North Paravur. The acquisition is for the purpose of construction of Thannippadam-Munduruthy Bridge. Of the ten cases covered by the common judgment, it is seen that there are no appeals against L.A.R.Nos.119/2002, 124/2002 and 132/2002. That apart, it is also seen that the fixation of land value at the rate of Rs.15,000/- per cent is based on Exts.A1 and A2 documents. It is found that the reference court has compared the acquired property with that of Exts.A1 and A2 properties, after entering a finding that the acquired property and the property covered by the basic documents are not similar and comparable. There is also a reference to the report of the advocate Commissioner. After thus referring to the evidence available on record, the Court fixed the land value at Rs.15,000/- per cent. There is no contra evidence. For all the above reasons these appeals are dismissed. The Interlocutory Applications for stay are also dismissed. (KURIAN JOSEPH, JUDGE) (HARUN-UL-RASHID, JUDGE) ahg.
