No.438 of 2006 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dated: 24th September, 2008 JUDGMENT This appeal by the requisitioning authority is directed against the award of the land acquisition reference court in LAR No.222 of 2003. The case pertains to acquisition for widening of the P.W.D.Road from Vattoli Bazar to Kinalur pursuant to a notification under Section 4(1) dated 29.5.1999. The Land Acquisition Officer awarded land value at the rate of Rs.3034/- per cent which was enhanced by the reference court to Rs.6500/- per cent on the basis of the evidence adduced by the claimant. It is brought to my notice that in LAA No.1451/05 this court has approved the enhancement granted by the reference court by dismissing the appeal preferred by the requisitioning authority. It is also brought to my notice that in certain other cases cross objections had been filed and those cross objections were allowed in part and this court has actually refixed the compensation above the rates fixed by the reference court. But in the absence of cross objections in this case, there is no need to grant further enhancement to the claimant. The appeal will stand dismissed. srd PIUS C.KURIAKOSE, JUDGE W.P.C.No. - 2 -
