Even though some of the grounds raised in the memorandum of appeal are attractive and Smt. R.Bindu, learned Government Pleader, addressed very persuasive arguments before us, having regard to the various judgments of this Court pertaining to acquisition of land in Thodupuzha and Manakkadu villages for various purposes at earlier periods, we are of the view that the present rate of Rs.59,926/- per Are fixed for properties in Thodupuzha (Thodupuzha Municipal area) is not excessive. Hence, this appeal will stand dismissed. No costs. PIUS C.KURIAKOSE,JUDGE C.K.ABDUL REHIM , JUDGE dpk
