The judgment in a connected case which was disposed of by common judgment along with the judgment which is impugned in this appeal has been confirmed by a Division Bench of this court by judgment in L.A.A.No. 637/07. More over, it is seen that the total stakes involved in the appeal is only Rs. 7304/-. Further I feel having gone through the judgment and having heard the submissions of the learned Government Pleader for the appellant, Smt.Santhamma Issac learned counsel for the claimant respondent and Sri.M.C.Cherian learned standing counsel for the requisitioning authority that the application of rule of thumb and giving of enhancement by 50% over the original rate was a reasonable approach by the learned Subordinate Judge. For all these reasons, the appeal will stand dismissed inlimine. PIUS.C.KURIAKOSE JUDGE sv.
