KRISHNAN, J. = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = L.A.A. NO. 526 OF 2006 = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = Dated this the 19th day of November, 2009. J U D G M E N T This is an appeal preferred against the award of the Land Acquisition Court, Koyilandy in LAR 66/03. An area of 0.0094 hectares of land comprised in Sy.No.76/7 of Kinalur village was acquired for the purpose of widening and strengthening the road from Vattoli junction to Kinalur. The Land Acquisition officer fixed the value of the property at Rs.3,034/- per cent and the Land Acquisition Court enhanced it to Rs.6,000/-. It is against that decision the requisitioning authority has come up in appeal. 2. A similar award passed by the Land Acquisition Court in LAR 19/03 was the subject matter of appeal before this Court as LAA 519/05 and the learned Judge of this Court after elaborately considering the matter held that there is no ground to interfere with the fixation of value by the Land Acquisition Court. It is also seen from the award that all the L.A.A. 526 OF 2006 -2- properties covered by the references are lying adjacently belonging to various claimants and that all the properties have same sort of importance referred to. There was some dispute regarding the road frontage. It was also taken note of by the Land Acquisition Court as well as this Court in appeal and a decision was arrived at holding that an amount of Rs.6,000/- fixed is only reasonable and therefore it has to be held that applying the same yardstick and principles to the present case as well the Land Acquisition Court has only arrived at a correct decision and therefore the appeal does not merit consideration and therefore the same is dismissed.
