KRISHNAN, J ----------------------- L.A.A.No. 45 OF 2009 --------------------------------- Dated this the 9th day of January, 2009 JUDGMENT This is an appeal preferred against the award of the Subordinate Judge, Thalassery in L.A.R. 262/05. An extent of 0.0053 hectors of land in R.S. No. 16/4 of the Kuthuparamba Village was acquired for widening the road and a compensation of Rs. 4,985/- has been fixed by the Acquisition Authority. In reference, the Land Acquisition Court fixed the market value at Rs. 10,000/- per cent. It is agaisnt that decision the present appeal is filed. A batch of cases came for consideration before another learned Judge of this court and the learned Judge opined that since the extent acquired is negligible, one need not interfere with the award. I also hold the same view considering the extent of the land acquired and the reasonableness of the fixation of the value. But I make it clear that this shall not be cited as a binding precedent in other cases for enhancement of compensation. Therefore I confirm the award of the Land Acquisition Court and dismiss the appeal. M.N. KRISHNAN,JUDGE vkm
