This appeal pertains to acquisition for the purpose of expansion of Thiruvananthapuram Airport. The land was in Kadakampilly Village. Under the impugned judgment, the court below has re-fixed the value of land from Rs.1,62,686/- per Are to Rs.4 lakhs per Are. The claimant has preferred a memorandum of cross objections claiming land value at the rate of Rs.10 lakhs per Are. The merits of the cross-objections will be dealt with separately. We feel that the grounds raised in the appeal preferred by the Government are not forceful. According to us, the Government cannot have any grievance regarding the market value of the land re-fixed under the impugned judgment. Hence this appeal is dismissed. The cross objections are separated. (PIUS C.KURIAKOSE, JUDGE) (N.K. BALAKRISHNAN, JUDGE) ksv/-
