Sri.Basant Balaji, learned senior Government Pleader addressed us strenuously on the various grounds raised in the memorandum of appeal. However, having gone through the impugned judgment, we are of the view that the findings entered therein are reasonable and are founded on evidence including the very basis document. The property was in Pettah village. The acquisition was in the year 2000. The enhancement granted is from Rs.1,00,000/- per Are to Rs.1,75,000/- per Are. Having regard to the importance of the locality and advantages enjoyed by the acquired property, we feel that enhancement granted is by no standard excessive. The appeal is dismissed. No costs.
