Heard Sri.Basant Balaji, learned senior Government Pleader and Sri.Subhash Cyriac, learned counsel for the claimant respondent. 2. The case pertains to acquisition of land in Pettah village pursuant to Section 4(1) notification published on 4/2/1999. The Land Acquisition Officer awarded land value at the rate of Rs.1,09,365/- per Are, which was enhanced under the impugned judgment to Rs.2,00,000/- per Are. Similarly, for the building which is existed on the acquired property, the Land Acquisition Officer awarded Rs.2,27,289/-, which was enhanced by the Reference Court on the basis of the evidence to Rs.3,00,000/- per Are. Though the learned Government Pleader would assail the impugned judgment very strongly, having gone through the impugned judgment and having heard the submissions of LAA.No.356/2008 2 Sri.Subhash Cyriac, we feel that there is no warrant for interference. The appeal will stand dismissed. No costs. PIUS C.KURIAKOSE,JUDGE K.SURENDRA MOHAN, JUDGE dpk
