This appeal is directed against the judgment and decree in L.A.R.No.217/2000 on the file of the Sub Court, Thalassery. The acquisition is for the purpose of Kannur Air Port. It is seen that the total enhanced land value comes only to Rs.32,282/- along with the statutory benefits, The land value is fixed at Rs.1,500/- per cent for an extent of 39.471 cents. The fixation of land value is on the basis of the market value fixed in respect of neighbouring lands. Since the enhancement is nominal and the total enhancement is only Rs.32,282/- with statutory benefits, we do not propose to interfere with the judgment and decree. We agree with the reasoning and finding of the reference court. Therefore, the appeal is dismissed. (KURIAN JOSEPH, JUDGE) ahg. (K.T.SANKARAN, JUDGE)
