JUDGMENT
Pius.C.Kuriakose, J.
Copies of the common judgment in a large number of land
acquisition cases including L.A.A.No.424/03 is placed before us. It is
seen that under that common judgment, this court noticed that land
value had been fixed at the rate of Rs.60,000/- per cent for wet lands in
Chevayur village and this court by judgment in L.A.A.No. 774/06 had
approved that land value. This court has observed that the properties in
Vengeri village is either equally important or more important than the
properties in Chevayur village. The learned Government Pleader
submits that a review petition seeking review of the judgment in
L.A.A.No.774/06 has been admitted by this court. But it is fairly
conceded that the Government has not so far sought review of the
common judgment in L.A.A.No.424/03 and connected cases.
Having gone through the judgment impugned in this appeal also,
we feel that it is more or less the correct market value of the property at
LAA.No.1423/07 2
the relevant time which has been arrived at by the learned Sub Judge.
Importantly, there was no counter evidence at all on the side of the
appellant government to the evidence adduced by the claimants. For all
these reasons, this appeal will stand dismissed.
