No.388 of 2006 ------------------------------------------------ Dated this the 22nd day of September, 2009 JUDGMENT Pius C. Kuriakose, J Service is complete on the party respondent. But there is no appearance for him. This appeal by the Requisitioning Authority pertains to acquisition of land in Koyilandy for the purposes of widening of road from Vattoli junction to Kinalur. The relevant Section 4(1) notification was published on 12/04/1999. The Land Acquisition Officer awarded land value at the rate of Rs.3032/- per cent which under the impugned judgment was re-fixed at Rs.8,000/- per cent. Our attention was drawn by Sri.Joby Cyriac, the learned counsel for the appellant to the judgment of this Court L. A. A. No.388 of 2006 -2- in L.A.A.1452/05. It is seen that by judgment in the Cross Objection which was decided along with that appeal, this Court has re-fixed the market value of the land at Rs.7,500/- per cent. Accordingly, following that decision, we modify the impugned judgment and re-fix the land value at Rs.7,500/- per cent. The appeal will stand allowed to the above extent. It is needless to mention that the claimant/ respondent will be entitled for all statutory benefits which becomes admissible to him by virtue of this judgment. PIUS C. KURIAKOSE JUDGE K.
