Even though it would appear that adoption of multiplier of 12 is contrary to the judgment of the Supreme Court referred to in the appeal memorandum, we notice that the property under acquisition was coffee plantation and the learned Subordinate Judge's judgment is supported by the judgment of a Division Bench of this court, which takes the view that the number of multiplier to be adopted will vary on the basis of the nature of the trees, etc. The total stakes involved in this appeal is also not much. We do not find any warrant for interference. The appeal will stand dismissed. PIUS C.KURIAKOSE,JUDGE P.Q.BARKATH ALI, JUDGE dpk
