We have today by common judgment in LAA.1070/2007 series disposed of a number of cases pertaining to the same acquisition but relating to large tracts of land. In view of the reasons stated in that judgment the impugned judgment is liable to be interfered with. Accordingly in modification of the impugned judgment and decree we refix the value of the land under acquisition at Rs.63,000/- per Are. The appeal stands allowed to that extent. Parties will suffer their respective costs. But cost allowed originally will stand reduced proportionately in accordance with the modified decree passed in this appeal. Claimants will be entitled for all statutory benefits on the total enhanced compensation to which they become eligible by virtue of this judgment. PIUS C.KURIAKOSE, JUDGE. C.K.ABDUL REHIM, JUDGE. okb
