                           JUDGMENT

Pius C.Kuriakose,J.

The lands under acquisition in this case were included in

category-D by the Land Acquisition Officer.

2. We set aside the judgment and decree under appeal and

remand the LAR to the reference court for deciding whether the

lands were enjoying frontage of any road. If the enquiry

reveals that the property was enjoying road frontage, the

learned subordinate judge will include the property in

category-c and award land value of Rs.26,730/-. If the enquiry

reveals that the property was not enjoying road frontage, the

land will be retained in category-D and the reference court will

award land value at the rate of Rs.21,384/-, in the light of the

findings entered by this Court in connected matters. The award

passed by the learned subordinate judge towards injurious

affection is confirmed.

The appeal is allowed.

PIUS C.KURIAKOSE,
JUDGE

K.SURENDRA MOHAN,
