JUDGMENT
Pius C. Kuriakose, J
Even though Mrs.Latha Krishnan, the learned
counsel for the appellant addressed us very
strenuously, we do not find any warrant for
interference. The Reference Court re-fixed the land
value of wet lands for which the Land Acquisition
Officer has awarded value at the rate of Rs.3056/- per
Are, as Rs.4584/- per Are. For the reclaimed lands for
which the Land Acquisition Officer has awarded value
at the rate of Rs.6672/-, the Reference Court has re-
fixed the value at Rs.10,008. The re-determination of
the market value by the Reference Court will stand
L. A. A. No.167 of 2006 -2-
approved. The appeal will stand dismissed.
2. It is made clear that the amount which was
paid to the claimant towards reclamation charges by
the Land Acquisition Officer will be deducted from the
total compensation. It is needless to mention that the
respondent/claimant will be entitled for all statutory
benefits on the total enhanced compensation to which
he becomes eligible by virtue of our re-fixation under
this judgment.
