JUDGMENT

Admit.

2. Appellant has approached this Court seeking enhancement of compensation granted in L.A.R No.155 of 2010 on the file of the 2nd Additional Sub Court, Thiruvananthapuram. When the appeal was taken up for hearing, it was pointed out by the learned Counsel for the appellant that in L.A.A No.502 of 2015 a Division Bench of this Court re-fixed the land value at Rs.32,90,000/- per Are in an identical appeal arising from the same acquisition. He submitted that this appeal is also liable to be allowed following the land value re-fixed by the Division Bench. The learned Senior Government Pleader also submitted that the issue is covered by the judgment of the Division Bench.

Accordingly the appeal is allowed following the judgment of the Division Bench in L.A.A No.502 of 2015 . The land value shall stand re-fixed at Rs. 32,90,000/- per Are. The appellant shall be entitled for all statutory benefits also. In view of the order passed in C.M.Appl. No.1 of 2021, the appellant shall not be entitled for interest for the period of 2124 days.
