State of Kerala is the appellant. The appeal is directed
against the judgment and decree in L.A.R.No.163/2000 on the
file of the Principal Sub Court, Kozhikode. The property of the
respondent was acquired for the purpose of Calicut bye-pass.
Section 4(1) notification of the Land Reforms Act was issued on
24.1.1998. The Land Acquisition Officer fixed the land value at
Rs.10,453/- per cent for garden land and Rs.8,761/- per cent for
wet land. The reference court re-fixed the land value at
Rs.35,000/- per cent for garden land and Rs.20,000/- per cent
for wet land. Challenging the quantum of compensation awarded
by the reference court, the State has preferred this appeal.
2. This reference case was tried along with 7 other
connected cases. Similarly, appeals preferred by the State of
Kerala against the judgment and decree passed by the court in
connected cases are dismissed by this Court confirming the
decree and judgment passed by the reference court. It is
L.A.A.No.31 Of 2008
::2::
brought to the notice of this Court that the judgment dated
31.3.2006 in L.A.A.No.370/2005 was preferred challenging the
decree and judgment in L.A.R.No.159/2000. L.A.R.No.159/2000
was tried along with the present case under reference. This
Court confirmed the land value fixed by the reference court. In
the circumstances, no valid grounds are made out by the State
for interference.
Accordingly, the appeal fails and dismissed.
HARUN-UL-RASHID,
Judge.
