BY GOVT.PLEADER SMT.T.T.JOSEPHINA THIS LAND ACQUISITION APPEAL HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 17/03/2011, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: PIUS C.KURIAKOSE & N.K.BALAKRISHNAN, JJ. ------------------------ L.A.A.No. 220 OF 2011 ------------------------ Dated this the 17h day of March, 2011 JUDGMENT Pius C.Kuriakose, J. The requisitioning authority is in appeal. They are challenging the enhancement granted by the court below towards land value and also towards building value. We notice that enhancement at the rates granted under the impugned judgment has been approved by this court in other cases including the judgment in L.A.A. No.798/2007. As for the enhancement granted towards building value, we find that the same is only 20% above what was awarded by the Land Acquisition Officer. 2. We do not find any warrant for interfering with the enhancement allowed by the court below. However, as rightly pointed out by the learned counsel for the appellant, a mistake has been committed by the court below while mentioning the period during which the claimant is found to be dis entitled for getting statutory interest under Section 28. The correct period LAA.No.220/2011 2 will be the period from 20/6/2006 till 20/3/2009 and not 20/6/2006 till 5/4/2006 as wrongly stated by the court below. The appeal will stand disposed of as above.
