Dated this the 26th day of August, 2009
JUDGMENT
Pius C. Kuriakose, J
Even though Smt.Latha T. Thankappan, the
learned Senior Government Pleader addressed us very
strenuously, we do not find any warrant for
interference. The property was situated in Thodupuzha
village within the limits of Thodupuzha municipality.
The relevant Section 4(1) notification was published
on 12/06/02. The Land Acquisition Officer awarded
land value at the rate of Rs.17,561/- per Are which
under the impugned judgment was increased to
Rs.51,961/- per Are.
Having gone through the impugned judgment,
L. A. A. No.951 of 2009 -2-
we are of the view that the enhancement granted
under the impugned judgment was justified. We take
into account the judgments of this Court in other cases
pertaining to acquisition of land within the Thodupuzha
municipality including the reported judgment in State
of Kerala v. Jose Simon [2009(1) KLT 760].
The appeal will stand dismissed. No costs.
