JUDGMENT

Ramachandran Nair, J.

This appeal is from the judgment and decree in L.A.R. No.100/1998 on the file of the III Addl. Sub Court, Ernakulam. The property has been acquired for the purpose of the appellant for establishing an Export Processing Industrial Park. The notification under Section 4(1) of the Act is dated 31.1.1995 as per the Gazette. The land value awarded by the Land Acquisition Officer is at the rate of Rs.1,727/- per are and the extent involved is 3.2160 hectares. The reference court granted enhancement by adopting the land value at the rate of Rs.5,000/- per are.

2. Heard learned counsel on both sides.

We have confirmed the land value at the rate of Rs.11,750/- per are as far as the same category of properties, in our judgment in LAA No.1456/2005 and connected cases and therefore, the land value fixed

LAA 1650/2008 by the reference court herein is reasonable. Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed. The parties will bear their costs in the appeal.
