THIS LAND ACQUISITION APPEAL HAVING BEEN FINALLY HEARD ON 08/06/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: PIUS C. KURIAKOSE & C. K. ABDUL REHIM, JJ. ------------------------------------------------ L. A. A. No.516 of 2010 ------------------------------------------------ Dated this the 8th day of June, 2010 JUDGMENT Pius C. Kuriakose, J We are not inclined to entertain this appeal which pertains to acquisition of 1.36 Ares of land in Kottuvally village for the purpose of expanding National Highway-17. The relevant Section 4(1) notification was published on 23/08/04. The Land Acquisition Officer awarded land value at the rate of Rs.1,03,031/- per Are. Before the Reference Court various documents were produced by the claimants. Ext.A4 executed in favour of Believers Church represented by Dr.K.P.Yohannan reflecting a land value of Rs.75,000/- per cent was one of them. What the court below ultimately did was to L. A. A. No.516 of 2010 -2- find that the price paid under Ext.A4 is a fancy price and make a deduction of 30% from the same and add at roughly 37% for the passage of two and a half years' time from the date of Ext.A4 till the date of Section 4(1) notification. 2. Having scanned the impugned judgment, we feel that the approach of the learned Subordinate Judge was somewhat reasonable and it is more or less the correct market value of the property which has been arrived at by the learned Subordinate Judge i.e. Rs.1,78,304/- per Are. We do not find any warrant for interference. The appeal is dismissed in limine. PIUS C. KURIAKOSE JUDGE C. K. ABDUL REHIM JUDGE kns/-
