L.A.Appeal No.1146 of 2007

Dated this the 10th day of November, 2009
JUDGMENT
Pius C.Kuriakose,J.
This is an appeal by the Government and the case
pertains to acquisition of land in Pariyaram Village pursuant
to Section 4(1) notification published on 23.1.2001. The
L.A.Officer awarded land value at the rate of Rs.6390/- per
cent. The reference court under the impugned judgment
re-fixed the same at Rs.8,800/- per cent. The court below
was not impressed by the evidence adduced by the
claimants. Ultimately, it is relying on the basis document
itself that the current enhancement is granted.
Having gone through the impugned judgment, we are
of the view that the enhancement granted by the reference
court cannot be said to be excessive. This appeal
preferred by the Government is dismissed, without
prejudice to the appeals, if any, filed by the claimants.
