THIS LAND ACQUISITION APPEAL HAVING BEEN FINALLY HEARD ON 09/09/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: PIUS C.KURIAKOSE & K.SURENDRA MOHAN, JJ. ------------------------ L.A.A.No.1514 OF 2007 ------------------------ Dated this the 9th day of September, 2009 JUDGMENT Pius C.Kuriakose, J. Even though Sri.Basant Balaji, learned senior Government Pleader addressed serious arguments based on the various grounds, having gone through the impugned judgment, we are of the view that the learned Sub Judge was justified in refixing the land value under the impugned judgment from Rs.5718/- per Are to Rs.15,438/- per Are based on good evidence. Ext.A1 sale deed was in respect of the adjacent property and we find that the court below has granted only 50% of what was paid under Ext.A1. Approach of the learned Sub Judge was quite reasonable. There is no warrant for interference. The appeal will stand dismissed. No costs. PIUS C.KURIAKOSE,JUDGE K.SURENDRA MOHAN, JUDGE dpk
