Dated this the 21st day of November, 2011. JUDGMENT Pius C. Kuriakose, J. Counsel for the claimant/respondent seeks adjournment. We are not inclined to adjourn as we find that the issue raised by the Government is directly covered by a common judgment in LAA.Nos.2008/2008 & 263/2009 and memorandum of cross objection. The acquisition was of land in Vanchiyoor village for widening of road from LMS to Attakulangara pursuant to Section 4(1) notification published on 7.8.2004. The LA Officer awarded land value at the rate of Rs.4,52,833/- per Are. The reference court refixed the land value at Rs.24,70,000/- per Are. 2. As rightly submitted by the learned senior Government Pleader - Sri. Shyam Kumar the issue is covered in favour of the Government to a certain extent by a common judgment in LAA.No.2008/2008 and connected cases. Following that judgment, we modify the award of the reference court and refix the land value under acquisition at L.A.A.NO.394 OF 2011 : 2 : Rs.24,00,000/- per Are corresponding to Rs.9,71,266/- per cent. The appeal is allowed. The claimant will be entitled for all statutory benefits . Parties are directed to suffer their respective costs. PIUS C. KURIAKOSE, JUDGE. K. HARILAL, JUDGE. cl
