Kurian Joseph, J.
This is an appeal filed against the judgment and decree in
L.A.R. No. 360/1998 on the file of the Additional Sub Court,
North Paravur. Acquisition is for the purpose of Kochi
International Airport, Nedumbassery.
2. The reference court granted 96% enhancement
over the value fixed by the Land Acquisition Officer.
In L.A.A. No. 412/2001 and several other connected cases, this
Court has held that the enhancement can be only upto 45% of
the value fixed by the Land Acquisition Officer.
Therefore, we partly allow the appeal and modify the
judgment and decree to the effect that the respondents-claimants
shall be entitled only to 45% enhancement over the value fixed
by the Land Acquisition Officer. Claimants shall also be entitled
L.A.A. 139/03 2
to consequential statutory benefits including interest on solatium.
Appellant shall deposit the balance court fee within a period of
two weeks from today.
