Nos.1130 & 1131 of 2007 ------------------------------------------------ Dated this the 21st day of January, 2011 JUDGMENT Balakrishnan, J These two appeals are filed by the Requisitioning Authority. The relevant Section 4(1) notification was published on 04/11/2000. The property acquired in this case was classified as dry land. The Land Value fixed by the Land Acquisition Officer was Rs.31,900/- per Are. The Reference Court has enhanced the compensation by giving Rs.2,480/- per Are more. Since the land value in respect of similar lands acquired for the same purpose covered by the same notification re-fixed by the Reference Court was approved by this Court in the connected appeals, these appeals are only to be dismissed. Hence, we dismiss both the above appeals. No costs. PIUS C. KURIAKOSE JUDGE N. K. BALAKRISHNAN JUDGE kns/- L. A. A. Nos.1130 & 1131 of 2007 -2-
