It is seen that C.M.Appln No.343/2008 is filed for condoning the delay in filing the appeal against the judgment and decree in L.A.R No.208/2004 on the file of Additional Sub Court, Kottayam. The acquisition is for the purpose of formation of Kuruppanthara Distributory of M.V.I.P. 2. It is seen that the enhancement is only at 60% over and above the land value fixed by the Land Acquisition Officer. It is brought to our notice that in several cases this Court has sustained such fixation by granting enhancement at the rate of 60%. Therefore, the appeal and application are dismissed. I.A.No.796/2008 is also dismissed. (KURIAN JOSEPH, JUDGE) (HARUN-UL-RASHID, JUDGE) ms
