Kuriakose, J It is fairly conceded by both sides that the issue raised in this appeal is covered in favour of the Government to a considerable extent by our own judgment in L.A.A.2008/08. Following the decision taken in that judgment, we allow the appeal and re-fix the value of the land under acquisition at ` 24 lakhs per Are. Needless to mention that the claimant/respondent will be entitled for all statutory benefits on the re-fixed compensation. The appeal is allowed, however, without any order as to costs. We clarify that what has been interfered is only the issue of land value and not the building value. PIUS C. KURIAKOSE JUDGE C. K. ABDUL REHIM JUDGE kns/- -2-
