Even though Smt.Latha T.Thankappan, learned senior Government Pleader has addressed us very strenuously and persuasively, we are not inclined to entertain this appeal. The property was in Changanassery Village and within the area of the Changanassery Municipal Town. Relevant Section 4(1) notification was published on 28/6/2005, The Land Acquisition Officer awarded land value at the rate of Rs.18,352/- per Are. Under the impugned judgment that was enhanced to Rs.31,198/- per Are. 2. Having gone through the judgment, we are of the view that the findings of the learned Subordinate Judge regarding the market value is founded on evidence. The market value arrived at, we feel, is more or less equal to the correct market value of LAA.No.963/2009 2 the property at the relevant time. The appeal will stand dismissed.
