Kurian Joseph, J.

This is an appeal filed against the judgment and decree in

L.A.R. No. 207/1998 on the file of the Sub Court, Kozhikode.

Acquisition is for the purpose of Calicut bye-pass. The property

involved is in Elathur village.

2. The claimants sought to place reliance on Exhibit A1

judgment and decree in L.A.R. No. 71/1996. It is seen that the

Advocate Commissioner had reported that the property involved

in Exhibit A1 and the acquired property are similar and similarly

situated. Both are of the same notification and acquired for the

same purpose. There was no objection to the Commission

Report. It was in such circumstance only, based on the report of

the Advocate Commissioner and similarity of Exhibit A1 property,

value was fixed at Rs. 15,000/- per cent. Thus we do not find

any merit in the appeal filed by the State. It is accordingly

dismissed.

L.A.A. 399/02 & C.O. 108/04 2

In the cross objection the claim is for land value at

Rs. 20,000/- per cent. As already noted by us above, even

according to the Advocate Commissioner, the properties are

similar and similarly situated as that of A1 property, for all

purposes. The value that is sustained in Exhibit A1 is only

Rs. 15,000/- per cent. The value in Exhibit A1 has become final

in L.A.A. No. 1236/1998. There is no other evidence for the

claimants. Therefore, the cross objectors are not entitled to any

further enhancement. The cross objection is also dismissed.
