BALAKRISHNAN, JJ. ------------------------------------------------ L. A. A. No.326 of 2011 ------------------------------------------------ Dated this the 1st day of July, 2011 JUDGMENT Pius C. Kuriakose, J Even though apparently attractive grounds are raised and Smt.T.T.Josephina, the learned Government Pleader addressed arguments on the basis of the grounds, we do not find warrant for interference. The property was in Kanhangad village and the acquisition was pursuant to Section 4(1) notification published on 05/04/2000. The Land Acquisition Officer fixed land value at ` 5,006/- per cent. The Reference Court re-fixed the same at ` 15,000/- per cent. Having gone through the impugned judgment, we are of the view that the finding of the learned Subordinate Judge regarding the market value is a reasonable finding and that it is more or less the correct market value which has been L. A. A. No.326 of 2011 -2- arrived at by the learned Subordinate Judge. The appeal will stand dismissed. PIUS C. KURIAKOSE JUDGE N. K. BALAKRISHNAN JUDGE kns/-
