The acquisition is for the purpose of construction of<\/p>\n<p>Kollam National Highway bye pass from Thattamala to Ayathil.<\/p>\n<p>The properties are situated in Vadakkevila Village.           We have<\/p>\n<p>already considered a similar matter, leading to judgment dated<\/p>\n<p>24.9.2007 in LAA 1839\/02 and 307\/07. In the said case, we have<\/p>\n<p>taken the view that the fixation of land value at Rs.10,000\/- per<\/p>\n<p>cent in the first category of cases cannot be said to be excessive<\/p>\n<p>or unreasonable and proportionate reduction of 5% in the second<\/p>\n<p>category cases with Panchayat road also cannot be said to be<\/p>\n<p>excessive or unreasonable. Having gone through the records in<\/p>\n<p>these cases, we find that the fixation of market value at<\/p>\n<p>Rs.10,000\/- per cent is just, fair, proper and reasonable, and<\/p>\n<p>LAA NO.768\/04 &amp; connected cases   2<\/p>\n<p>proportionate reduction is also justified.  In that view of the<\/p>\n<p>matter, we do not find any merit in these appeals. They are<\/p>\n<p>accordingly dismissed.
