L.A.A.NO.2267 OF 2008 ............................................ DATED THIS THE 29TH DAY OF JULY, 2010 JUDGMENT PIUC.C.KURIAKOSE, J It is brought to our notice that the issue raised by the Government in this appeal is covered in favour of the Government by the judgment of this court in L.A.A.No.1319 of 2007. Even though copy of the appeal is served on Sri.R.T.Pradeep, who was appearing for the claimant in connected matters, there is no resistance to the submission of the learned Government Pleader that L.A.A.No.1349 of 2007 decides the issue in favour of the Government. Hence we rely on the judgment in L.A.A.No.1319 of 2007 and allow the appeal, refixing the market value of the land under acquisition at Rs.22,000/- per cent. Needless to mention that the claimant/respondent will be entitled to all statutory benefits under Sections 23(1a), 23(2) and 28 of the Land Acquisition Act as refixed total compensation. The parties are directed to suffer their respective costs. PIUS C KURIAKOSE, JUDGE K.SURENDRA MOHAN, JUDGE lgk
