We don't find any warrant for interference with the impugned judgment under which the reference court enhanced the land value from Rs.3078/- per Are to Rs.5000/- per Are. The acquisition was of property in Thiruvallam Village for the purpose of bye-pass of Kazhakuttom – Kovalam. Having gone through the impugned judgment, we are of the view that the approach of the learned Subordinate Judge is quite reasonable and the enhancement granted cannot be said to be excessive. Appeal is dismissed. No costs. PIUS C.KURIAKOSE, JUDGE K.SURENDRA MOHAN, JUDGE ksv/-
