NO.187 OF 2008 = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = Dated this the 29th day of February, 2008 J U D G M E N T -------------------- State is challenging the enhancement of compensation awarded by the learned Sub Judge, Mavelikkara in L.A.R. No.1 of 2004. The Land Acquisition Officer has awarded a compensation of Rs.17,351/- per Are which was enhanced by the court below to Rs.25,000/- per Are. The land involved is only 5.05 Ares. Further, the enhancement is only Rs.7,649/- per Are which is reasonable. So I do not find any ground to admit this appeal and keep the same pending. The appeal is without any merit and the same is only to be dismissed. In the result, appeal is dismissed. K. PADMANABHAN NAIR, JUDGE. vsv K.
