This is an appeal preferred against the award of the
Land Acquisition Court, Koyilandy in LAR 66/03. An area of
0.0094 hectares of land comprised in Sy.No.76/7 of Kinalur
village was acquired for the purpose of widening and
strengthening the road from Vattoli junction to Kinalur. The
Land Acquisition officer fixed the value of the property at
Rs.3,034/- per cent and the Land Acquisition Court enhanced
it to Rs.6,000/-. It is against that decision the requisitioning
authority has come up in appeal.
2. A similar award passed by the Land Acquisition
Court in LAR 19/03 was the subject matter of appeal before
this Court as LAA 519/05 and the learned Judge of this Court
after elaborately considering the matter held that there is no
ground to interfere with the fixation of value by the Land
Acquisition Court. It is also seen from the award that all the
L.A.A. 526 OF 2006
-2-
properties covered by the references are lying adjacently
belonging to various claimants and that all the properties have
same sort of importance referred to. There was some dispute
regarding the road frontage. It was also taken note of by the
Land Acquisition Court as well as this Court in appeal and a
decision was arrived at holding that an amount of Rs.6,000/-
fixed is only reasonable and therefore it has to be held that
applying the same yardstick and principles to the present case
as well the Land Acquisition Court has only arrived at a correct
decision and therefore the appeal does not merit consideration
and therefore the same is dismissed.
M.N. KRISHNAN, JUDGE.
