JUDGE, HIGH COURT OF KERALA) AND SRI.K.J.THOMAS STANLEY (RETD. DISTRICT JUDGE) =================================== L.A.A.No.355 of 2001 =================================== Dated this the 19th day of June, 2008 AWARD Heard the counsel for the claimants and the NTPC for whom land was acquired. This is a claimants appeal dissatisfied with the enhancement given by the court below. The court below enhanced the land value at Rs.14,306/- per are as against the value fixed by the Collector at Rs.8,600/- per are. The company has already applied the formula for fixing the value for dry land at 150% of the award of the Collector. In view of this formula, the Manager (legal) has agreed to enhancement of the land value at Rs.21,500/-, as the land in question is a dry land. It goes without saying that the enhancement given by the court below on other items is kept in tact and the appellant is also entitled to all statutory benefits as per law. The lower court decree will stand modified to the above extend. L.A.A.No.355/2001 2 Full Court Fee is directed to be refunded to the appellant. Sd/- T.K.CHANDRASEKHARA DAS (RETD.
