PIUS C.KURIAKOSE, J.\n<\/p>\n
      L.A.A Nos: 176\/2005 & 716\/2004 are instituted by the<\/p>\n
claimant who is not satisfied by the award passed by the Reference<\/p>\n
Court in LAR No: 90\/1997.                    L.A.A.176\/2005 is prepared by the<\/p>\n
requisitioning authority against the award passed by the reference<\/p>\n
court in L.A.R.90\/97. All the other appeals are by the requistioning<\/p>\n
authority and they are directed against the awards in the connected<\/p>\n
Land Acquisition Reference cases.                       All these appeals pertain to<\/p>\n
acquisition of lands in Nediyiruppu village for the expansion of the<\/p>\n
run way of the Calicut Airport. The acquisitions were pursuant to a<\/p>\n
notification under Section 4(1) published on 15.11.1993. The Land<\/p>\n
Acquistion Officer included the properties under acquistion in these<\/p>\n
cases in category 6 and awarded land value at the rate of Rs.6916\/-<\/p>\n
per cent. The Reference Court on evaluating the evidence which<\/p>\n
constituted all the oral testimonies of A.Ws 1 to 4 and Exts.A1 to<\/p>\n
A8 were marked on the side of the claimants and testimonies of<\/p>\n
R.W.1 and Ext.B1 basis document on the side of the respondents<\/p>\n
L.A.A.716\/2004 etc.              2<\/span><\/p>\n
(Government and the Requisitioning Authority).       Apart from the<\/p>\n
Commissioner’s report Exts.C1 to C6 in those of the cases decided<\/p>\n
under the common judgment would refix the land value of the<\/p>\n
properties under acquisition at Rs.10,000\/- per cent.            The<\/p>\n
requisitioning authority challenges the enhancement granted by the<\/p>\n
reference court as excessive, the appellant in L.A.A.716\/2004<\/p>\n
challenges the same as inadequate.\n<\/p>\n
      2.    Shri. N.N.Sugunapalan, senior counsel appears for the<\/p>\n
Calicut Airport Authority and Adv Shri. Babu S. Nair, learned counsel<\/p>\n
for the appellant in L.A.A.716\/2004 have addressed us very<\/p>\n
strenuously and extensively.     It was argued by Adv. Shri. Babu<\/p>\n
S.Nair that the rejection of Ext.A1 sale document by the Reference<\/p>\n
Court was not justified. According to the learned counsel Ext.A1<\/p>\n
revealed land value of Rs.24,000\/-. The learned counsel submitted<\/p>\n
that even based on Ext.B1 the basis document there was<\/p>\n
justification for awarding more than the rates presently awarded.<\/p>\n
Ext.A1 property, according to the learned counsel was found by the<\/p>\n
reference court to be inferior to the properties under acquisition.<\/p>\n
Ext.A1 property was a quarry lying at a distance of 6 to 8 feet from<\/p>\n
the road level. The properties under acquisition were pucca garden<\/p>\n
lands.     Mr.Babu S. Nair submitted that the properties under<\/p>\n
L.A.A.716\/2004 etc.             3<\/span><\/p>\n
acquisition were enjoying access to roads as reported by the<\/p>\n
Advocate Commissioner. The distance to main road was not much.<\/p>\n
Learned Counsel submitted that in earlier acquisitions pursuant to<\/p>\n
earlier notifications under Section 4(1) for the same purpose the<\/p>\n
court below has refixed the value at higher rates and on account of<\/p>\n
the emergencies of the Airport the value of the present property<\/p>\n
should have been fixed at higher than those values.<\/p>\n
      3. Adv. Shri. N.N.Sugunapalan, counsel for the requisitioning<\/p>\n
authority however, would assail the award of the learned Sub Judge<\/p>\n
as excessive.      According to him there was no justification for<\/p>\n
awarding anything more than 40% than what was awarded by the<\/p>\n
Land Acquisition Officer. The adoption of the belting system which<\/p>\n
is adopted, is approved by this Court and by the Supreme Courts.<\/p>\n
The learned Senior Counsel submitted that Ext.B1 property was<\/p>\n
enjoying road frontage of the National Highway whereas the<\/p>\n
property under acquisition is category 6 situated far away from the<\/p>\n
National Highway. The Commissioner’s report was not acceptable.<\/p>\n
The Commissioner has at any rate not reported that the properties<\/p>\n
were enjoying direct road frontage.\n<\/p>\n
      4. We have very anxiously considered the rival submissions<\/p>\n
addressed at the Bar.      We have also considered those items of<\/p>\n
L.A.A.716\/2004 etc.               4<\/span><\/p>\n
evidence to which our attention was drawn by Adv Shri Babu S. Nair<\/p>\n
and the learned senior counsel.         We are of the view that the<\/p>\n
finding of the learned Subordinate Judge that the properties under<\/p>\n
acquisition were superior in quality to the property covered by<\/p>\n
Ext.B1 is a finding which can be approved. At the same time, we<\/p>\n
are in agreement with the learned Subordinate Judge that in terms<\/p>\n
of market value Ext. B1 property was more valuable than the<\/p>\n
properties under acquisition.       But we notice that Ext.B1 was<\/p>\n
executed more than one year prior to the relevant Section 4(1)<\/p>\n
notification in this case. We feel that the market value of Ext.B1<\/p>\n
property at the time of the present acquisition should have been at<\/p>\n
least Rs.12,000\/- per cent. This aspect of the matter it appears to<\/p>\n
us has not been taken note of by the Learned Subordinate Judge.<\/p>\n
We feel that if this aspect is also taken note of, the market value of<\/p>\n
the properties under acquisition could have been fixed at a better<\/p>\n
assessment at Rs.10,500\/- per cent.\n<\/p>\n
      5. The result of the above discussion is that L.A.A.716\/2004<\/p>\n
will stand allowed to the extent of refixing their market value of the<\/p>\n
lands under acquisition at Rs.10,500\/- per cent.       The appeal will<\/p>\n
stand allowed without any order as to costs.\n<\/p>\n
      6. All the other appeals will stand dismissed confirming the<\/p>\n
L.A.A.716\/2004 etc.              5<\/span><\/p>\n
decision of the learned Subordinate Judge.         It is needless to<\/p>\n
mention that the total enhanced compensation to which the<\/p>\n
claimants including the appellant in L.A.A.716\/2004 become<\/p>\n
entitled to by virtue of this judgment will       carry all statutory<\/p>\n
benefits under Section 23(1A), 23(2) and 28 of the Land Acquistion<\/p>\n
Act. It is made clear that the appellant in L.A.A No: 716\/2004<\/p>\n
alone will be entitled for the refixation of market value made under<\/p>\n
this judgment.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
