NO. 136,253 of 2008 &amp; 654\/2009\n            -------------------------------------------------\n         Dated this the 22nd         day of February, 2010\n\n                              JUDGMENT\n<\/pre>\n<p>Pius C.Kuriakose,J.\n<\/p>\n<p>          LAA.No.136\/2008<\/p>\n<p>          Government is in appeal. The property was situated in<\/p>\n<p>Vanchiyoor Village very close to the Connemara market at<\/p>\n<p>Palayam. The acquisition was for the purpose of DTP Scheme<\/p>\n<p>Sub Center at Palayam for TRIDA. The relevant section 4(1)<\/p>\n<p>notification was published on 19.12.2000. The Land Acquisition<\/p>\n<p>Officer relied on basis documents and fixed the market value of<\/p>\n<p>the land at Rs.2,22,300\/- per cent. Before the Reference Court<\/p>\n<p>the evidence consisted of Ext.A1 sale deed and Ext.A2 judgment<\/p>\n<p>apart from the oral evidence of AW1 the claimant.           On the side<\/p>\n<p>of the Government and the requisitioning authority the same<\/p>\n<p>consisted only of papers pertaining to the award file. Ext. R1 was<\/p>\n<p>the mahazar.      Ext.R2 was the plan pertaining to the acquired<\/p>\n<p>property. Importantly there was no counter oral evidence at all<\/p>\n<p>to the evidence adduced by             AW1 from the side of the<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">LAA. 136\/2008 &amp; conn.cases.            2<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Government or the requisitioning authority.      Ext.A1 sale deed<\/p>\n<p>was in respect of property in the same village. But according to<\/p>\n<p>the finding of the learned Subordinate Judge the property is<\/p>\n<p>situated in an area of much lessor importance. Ext.A1 property<\/p>\n<p>did not have direct frontage of any main road. This is clear from<\/p>\n<p>not only the judgment impugned but also from a perusal of<\/p>\n<p>Ext.A1.    Ext.A1 reflected a land value of Rs.7,15,000\/- per cent<\/p>\n<p>as on 11.4.1997. Ext.A2 was the judgment of the same court<\/p>\n<p>pertaining to acquisition of land in Thycaud Village but situated<\/p>\n<p>at a distance of 1 =          k.m. away from the property under<\/p>\n<p>acquisition and the same was acquired pursuant to a notification<\/p>\n<p>dated 14.5.1997.          Ext.A2 reflected refixed land value of<\/p>\n<p>Rs.17,31,306\/- per Are.       AW1 gave evidence to the effect that<\/p>\n<p>the property under acquisition was superior to the properties<\/p>\n<p>under Exts.A1 and A2.           AW1 was cross examined by the<\/p>\n<p>Government Pleader. On going through the cross examination of<\/p>\n<p>AW1 what we notice is that his version regarding comparability of<\/p>\n<p>Ext.A2 property with the property under acquisition is not<\/p>\n<p>seriously challenged. In fact the specific challenge is only that<\/p>\n<p>Ext.A2 is acquired       pursuant to a different publication under<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">LAA. 136\/2008 &amp; conn.cases.          3<\/span><\/p>\n<p>section 4(1) notification. But in the case of Ext.A1 there is a<\/p>\n<p>specific suggestion that the claimant is not entitled for getting the<\/p>\n<p>value in Ext.A1. The learned Subordinate Judge has discussed<\/p>\n<p>Ext.A1 as well as the judgments of this court in Hindustan O.C.<\/p>\n<p>Ltd., vs. Damodaran Namboothiri and others (1986 KLT 1013)<\/p>\n<p>and <a href=\"\/doc\/1975821\/\">State of Kerala vs. Dr.Susheela Varghese and others<\/a> (1999<\/p>\n<p>(3) ILR 585) which were cited by the claimant to support their<\/p>\n<p>claim based on Ext.A1. Ext.A2 is also similar discussion and it is<\/p>\n<p>observed that the commercial importance of the property covered<\/p>\n<p>by Ext.A2 and the property under acquisition is similar. There is<\/p>\n<p>a specific finding that Ext.A2 judgment is relevant.       A careful<\/p>\n<p>reading of the impugned judgment will show that the learned<\/p>\n<p>Subordinate Judge has kept in mind both Exts.A1 and A2 and<\/p>\n<p>refixed the market value of the land at Rs.22,50,698\/- per Are by<\/p>\n<p>adding 30% over the value reflected in Exts.A1 and A2 for the<\/p>\n<p>passage of time which is more than three years.\n<\/p>\n<p>            2. We have heard Sri.A.V.Ramanand, senior counsel<\/p>\n<p>who was assisted by Smt.Latha T.Thankappan in all the<\/p>\n<p>submissions.     According to Mr.Ramamnath, under Ext.A2 the<\/p>\n<p>percentage of enhancement given by the court below is 30%<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">LAA. 136\/2008 &amp; conn.cases.          4<\/span><\/p>\n<p>whereas the percentage of enhancement in this case is much<\/p>\n<p>higher than the percentage given under Ext.A2.       The claimant<\/p>\n<p>did not take out a commission so that there is a convincing<\/p>\n<p>report regarding the comparability of Ext.A2 and the acquired<\/p>\n<p>property.    The matter may be remitted to the court below if<\/p>\n<p>necessary giving opportunity to the claimant for taking out a<\/p>\n<p>commission.     All the submissions of the learned Government<\/p>\n<p>Pleader were resisted by the Sri.Subhash Syriac, learned counsel<\/p>\n<p>for the claimant as well as the counsel Sri.J.Harikumar who<\/p>\n<p>appears for the claimant in LAA.No.253\/2008 and LAA. 654\/2009<\/p>\n<p>which are decided separately. According to them, the relevant<\/p>\n<p>considerations are kept in mind while deciding the correct market<\/p>\n<p>value. In the instant case it was a low price that was awarded by<\/p>\n<p>the Land Acquisition Officer and that is why in refixation the<\/p>\n<p>claimants got much higher percentage than the percentage of<\/p>\n<p>enhancement received by the parties in Ext.A2. Our attention<\/p>\n<p>was drawn by the learned counsel for the respondents to the<\/p>\n<p>findings entered by the learned Subordinate Judge under the<\/p>\n<p>impugned judgment as well as to the mahazar prepared by the<\/p>\n<p>Land Acquisition Officer.    Learned counsel submitted that the<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">LAA. 136\/2008 &amp; conn.cases.           5<\/span><\/p>\n<p>property under acquisition was situated in an area which can be<\/p>\n<p>described as the commercial heart area.         The acquisition was<\/p>\n<p>towards the end of 2000 and the actual market value of the<\/p>\n<p>property at that time was much more than the rate which is now<\/p>\n<p>fixed. There was no counter oral evidence on the side of the<\/p>\n<p>Government or the requisitioning authority. There is no warrant<\/p>\n<p>for interference.\n<\/p>\n<p>            3.    We have gone through the entire records<\/p>\n<p>particularly the mahazar. It is true that the claimant did not take<\/p>\n<p>out a commission. But then the comparability between the two<\/p>\n<p>properties were spoken to by AW1 whose evidence inspired the<\/p>\n<p>mind of the learned Subordinate Judge. We are also convinced on<\/p>\n<p>going through the mahazar and the recitals in Ext.A1 and the<\/p>\n<p>details given in Ext.A2 that the property under acquisition was<\/p>\n<p>superior to the property covered by Ext.A1 and atleast compared<\/p>\n<p>equally with the property under Ext.A2. The suggestion of the<\/p>\n<p>Government Pleader in cross examination of AW1 was only that<\/p>\n<p>the party claimant is not entitled for getting the value paid under<\/p>\n<p>Ext.A1. No similar suggestion is not made in respect of Ext.A2 in<\/p>\n<p>the cross examination of AW1. We are not impressed with the<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">LAA. 136\/2008 &amp; conn.cases.          6<\/span><\/p>\n<p>argument of the learned Government Pleader based on the<\/p>\n<p>percentage of enhancement.      We do not find any warrant for<\/p>\n<p>interference . The appeal is dismissed. No costs.<\/p>\n<p>         LAA.Nos.253\/2008 &amp; 654\/2009<\/p>\n<p>          We are of the view that in view of the decision taken in<\/p>\n<p>LAA.No.136\/2008 these appeals are also to be dismissed. We<\/p>\n<p>dismiss these appeals but without any order as to costs.<\/p>\n<pre>\n\n\n\n\n                                PIUS C.
