SRI.THOMAS ANTONY THIS LAND ACQUISITION APPEAL HAVING BEEN FINALLY HEARD ON 01/10/2007, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: KURIAN JOSEPH & HARUN-UL-RASHID, JJ. ------------------------------------------------------------------ L.A.A.No.618 of 2001-D ------------------------------------------------------------------ Dated: October 1, 2007 JUDGMENT Kurian Joseph, J. This appeal is against the judgment and decree in LAR No.216/1998 on the file of the Sub Court, Kozhikode. As far as the land value is concerned, in view of the judgment in LAA No.1113/2000, no interference is called for. However, with regard to the calculation under sec.23(1-A) benefit, apparently an error has been committed by the Reference Court. The date of taking possession being the earlier date, sec.23(1-A) benefit shall be only upto that date. Therefore, the claimant in this case shall be entitled to sec.23(1-A) benefit only upto 24.7.1997. As far as the computation of the amounts is concerned, the entitlement is only for Rs.209935/- and not 210048/-. This appeal is thus partly allowed in terms of the modifications as above.
