This appeal pertains to acquisition of land in Thomattuchal Village for the purpose of Karapuzha Irrigation Project. The Land Acquisition Officer awarded land value at the rate of Rs.599.94 per cent which was increased by the Reference Court under the impugned Judgment to Rs.899.94 per cent. Having gone through the impugned judgment, we are of the view that the finding of the Learned sub Judge regarding the market value of the property is founded on the evidence on record. According to us, it is more or less the correct market value of the property at the relevant time which has been arrived at by the learned Sub Judge. The appeal will stand dismissed in limine.
