J U D G M E N T The appeal is filed against the decree and judgment passed in L.A.R.No.167/1998, on the file of the Sub Court, Kottayam. The learned Sub Judge relying on a decision of that court in L.A.R.No.135/89 awarded enhancement of the land value. Challenging the decision rendered in L.A.R.No.135/89, the State had filed an appeal as L.A.A.No. 613/1994. This Court dismissed that appeal. Further, the enhancement awarded in this case is also reasonable. Hence, I do not find any reason to interfere with the compensation awarded. So, the appeal is only to be dismissed. In the result, the appeal is dismissed. K.PADMANABHAN NAIR, JUDGE nj.
