THIS LAND ACQUISITION APPEAL HAVING BEEN FINALLY HEARD ON 21/05/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: PIUS.C.KURIAKOSE & P.Q.BARKATH ALI, JJ. ------------------------ L.A.A.No.477 of 2009 ------------------------ Dated this the 21st day of May, 2009 JUDGMENT Pius C.Kuriakose, J. This appeal by the Government pertains to enhancement of land value at the rate of Rs.300/- per cent for the property which was acquired for the purpose of Karapuzha Irrigation Project. The relevant Section 4(1) notification was on 30/10/1998. We have gone through the impugned judgment. We find that the learned Subordinate Judge rightly relied on Ext.A1 sale deed to grant the enhancement presently granted. 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 Subordinate Judge and there is no warrant for interfering with the enhancement presently granted by the reference court.
