                     L.A.A.No.770 OF 2009

               Dated this the 24th day of July, 2009

                           JUDGMENT

Pius C.Kuriakose, J.

Even though it would appear that adoption of multiplier of

12 is contrary to the judgment of the Supreme Court referred to

in the appeal memorandum, we notice that the property under

acquisition was coffee plantation and the learned Subordinate

Judge’s judgment is supported by the judgment of a Division

Bench of this court, which takes the view that the number of

multiplier to be adopted will vary on the basis of the nature of the

trees, etc. The total stakes involved in this appeal is also not

much. We do not find any warrant for interference.

The appeal will stand dismissed.
