Kurian Joseph, J.\n<\/p>\n
             This   appeal   is   directed   against   the   judgment   and<\/p>\n
decree   in   LAR   128\/02   on   the   file   of   the   Sub   Court,   Alappuzha.\n<\/p>\n
The   acquisition   is   for   the   purpose   of   Widening   of   National<\/p>\n
Waterways No.III.   The property is situated in Purakkadu village.\n<\/p>\n
We   have   already   held,   in   the   judgment   in   LAA   759\/04   that<\/p>\n
enhancement   in     land   value   at   80%   is   just,   proper   and<\/p>\n
reasonable.    There  is   also   an   enhancement   in  compensation for<\/p>\n
structures and injurious affection.  But as far as value of structure<\/p>\n
is concerned, what is granted is only 45% enhancement.  It is now<\/p>\n
settled   law   that   the   basis   of   fixation   by   the   Land   Acquisition<\/p>\n
Officer  is PWD rate as far as structure is concerned, and hence a<\/p>\n
reasonable enhancement is permissible.  In the peculiar facts and<\/p>\n
circumstances of this case, as established by Ext.C1 commission<\/p>\n
report,   Ext.C2   detailed   valuation   report   and   the   evidence   of<\/p>\n
AWs.1 and 2, and in the absence of any contra evidence on the<\/p>\n
part   of   the   respondent,   we   find   that   45%   enhancement   is   only<\/p>\n
just and proper. As far as injurious affection is concerned,  only a<\/p>\n
LAA NO.823\/04                         2<\/span><\/p>\n
nominal enhancement to the tune of Rs.5,000\/- is given based on<\/p>\n
evidence, in the light of the report of the unchallenged report of<\/p>\n
the   Advocate   Commissioner.     Thus,   there   is   no   merit   in   the<\/p>\n
appeal.  It is accordingly dismissed.\n<\/p>\n
I.A.No.3891\/04   : Dismissed.\n<\/p>\n
