The Land Acquisition Officer fixed the land value at Rs.10,453/- per cent for garden land and Rs.8,761/- per cent for wet land. The reference court re-fixed the land value at Rs.35,000/- per cent for garden land and Rs.20,000/- per cent for wet land. Challenging the quantum of compensation awarded by the reference court, the State has preferred this appeal. 2. This reference case was tried along with 7 other connected cases. Similarly, appeals preferred by the State of Kerala against the judgment and decree passed by the court in connected cases are dismissed by this Court confirming the decree and judgment passed by the reference court. It is L.A.A.No.31 Of 2008 ::2:: brought to the notice of this Court that the judgment dated 31.3.2006 in L.A.A.No.370/2005 was preferred challenging the decree and judgment in L.A.R.No.159/2000.
