Pius C. Kuriakose, J.
The requisitioning Authority, the Airport Director,
Calicut Airport is the appellant. The properties in Nediyirippu
Village were acquired for the expansion of the runway of
Calicut Airport pursuant to 4(1) notification published on 15-
1-1993. The L.A. Officer included the property in Tak No.5
and awarded land value at the rate of Rs.6225/- per cent.
The reference court re-fixed the same at R.11,500/- per
cent. We notice the common judgment of this Court in
L.A.A. No. 1020 of 2004 and connected cases. Under that
common judgment we dealt with a large number of cases
included in various Taks acquired for the same purpose.
Following the decision taken in that common judgment we
refix the value of land under acquisition at Rs.10,500/- per
cent. Appeal is allowed to that extent only. But for the total
LAA. No. 819 of 2006

enhanced compensation to which the claimant/respondent
becomes eligible by virtue of this judgment, they will be
entitled for all statutory benefits admissible under Section
23(1A), 23(2) and Section 28 of the L.A. Act. The parties
are directed to suffer their costs in this appeal.
