The issue raised in these appeals pertains to fixation of market value by the reference court in respect of acquisition for the East Hill - Ganapathikavu road, Kozhikode. In both cases, the reference court have placed reliance upon Exhibit A1 Sale Deed and fixed the land value at the rate of Rs. 35,000/- per cent in L.A.R. No. 10/2000 and Rs. 20,000/- per cent in L.A.R. No. 7/2000. 2. In view of the judgment in L.A.A. No. 1907/2002 whereby this Court has already sustained the fixation of land value on the basis of the very same A1 document, there is no merit in these appeals and they are accordingly dismissed.
