PIUS C.KURIAKOSE & K.SURENDRA MOHAN, JJ. ------------------------------------------- L.A.Appeal No.590 of 2006 ------------------------------------------- Dated this the 25th day of August, 2009 JUDGMENT Pius C.Kuriakose,J. Having gone through the impugned judgment, we are of the view that the enhancement granted by the reference court under the same which is at 37% over and above what was awarded by the Land Acquisition Officer is justified on the evidence available on record. The total stakes involved in this appeal is also not much. For both these reasons, the appeal will stand dismissed. No costs. PIUS C.KURIAKOSE, JUDGE K.SURENDRA MOHAN, JUDGE css/
