SRI.V.PREMCHAND FOR R1 SRI.G.S.REGHUNATH FOR R2 THIS LAND ACQUISITION APPEAL HAVING BEEN FINALLY HEARD ON 05/01/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: M.N.KRISHNAN,J. ============== L.A.A.No.450 OF 2008 =============== Dated this the 5th day of January 2010. JUDGMENT This is an appeal preferred against the award of the Land Acquisition Court, Thalassery in L.A.R. No.23/2002. 0.1538 hectare of land in RS.No.119/1 of Kallyasseri Village was acquired and an amount of Rs.40,300/- was fixed as the compensation. The learned Land Acquisition Court on a consideration of the entire materials fixed the land value at Rs.2,000/- per cent and modified the award. The basis on which said amount was fixed is on the basis of the award in LAR.No.98/2002 which was a case wherein the court had fixed the land value at Rs.2,000/-. The said property and the property acquired in this case are adjacent similar and similarly situated. There is no appeal preferred against the award in LAR.No.98/2002. Since the properties are having the same characteristics and no appeal is preferred against the said award, it is only just and proper to adopt the same land value as is done by the lower court. Therefore, I do not find any mistake committed by the court below and so the award does not call for any interference and therefore it is dismissed. M.N.KRISHNAN,JUDGE mns L.A.A.No.450 OF 2008 2
