No. 1473/07 This is an application to condone the delay of 622 days in filing the appeal. It is seen that the appeal is filed against the judgment and decree in L.A.R.No.163/1998 on the file of the II Additional Sub Court, Thiruvananthapuram. Acquisition is for the purpose of Electronics Techno Park. 2. It is seen that the enhancement is only to the tune of 30% and such enhancement is given in view of the evidence adduced by the claimant. In the absence of any contra evidence, we are of the view that the fixation thus made by the reference court based on the evidence adduced by the claimant is just and proper. Therefore, the application for condonation of delay and the appeal are dismissed. KURIAN JOSEPH JUDGE HARUN-UL-RASHID JUDGE smp
