Even though Sri.Basant Balaji, learned Senior Government Pleader addressed us strenuously, we are not inclined to admit this appeal. The acquisition was in Thomattuchal village for the purpose of Karapuzha Irrigation Project. The relevant Section 4(1) notification was published on 6-10-1996. The land acquisition officer awarded land value at the rate of Rs. 600/- per cent which was enhanced by the reference court to Rs. 900/- per cent. 2. Having gone through the impugned judgment, we are of the view that the approach of the learned Subordinate Judge was quite justified. 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. We also notice that the total stakes involved in this appeal is not much. For all these reasons, the appeal will stand dismissed. PIUS.C.KURIAKOSE JUDGE P.Q.BARKATH ALI JUDGE sv.
