These appeals arise from the judgments/awards in a batch of references made under Section 18 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 (the Act) in respect of lands in Kuttappuzha Village acquired for doubling of railway line from Chengannoor to Chingavanam, pursuant to a notification issued on 18.07.2009 in terms of Section 4(1) of the Act. Even though the references were not tried jointly and disposed of together, as the acquired lands involved in the cases were similarly LAA No.83 of 2016 & con cases 59 classified by the Land Acquisition Officer for the purpose of acquisition, we are disposing of these appeals by this common judgment.

2. Heard the learned counsel for the parties on either side.

3. The Land Acquisition Officer classified the acquired lands into six different categories for the purpose of acquisition, of which category I are dry lands having access from PWD road and Municipal road in main residential area, category II are dry lands having access from Municipal road and Railway mud road in main residential area, category III are dry lands having access only through Railway puramboke or pathway but nearby to town area, and reclaimed land near town, category IV are dry lands having access from road, but situated away from town and in less developed area, and category V are reclaimed lands having access from railway puramboke or pathway situated away from town and in less developed area. The note to award prepared by the Land Acquisition Officer in connection with the acquisition reveals LAA No.83 of 2016 & con cases 60 that for the purpose of fixing the land value of the lands brought under Categories I, II and III, the Land Acquisition Officer has taken into account the land value shown in Sale Deed No.1492/2008 of SRO, Thiruvalla dated 12.05.2008 and for the purpose of fixing the land value of the lands brought under Categories IV and V, the Land Acquisition Officer has taken into account the land value shown in Sale Deed No.1724/2008 of SRO, Thiruvalla. The note to award also reveals that the Land Acquisition Officer has made a comparison between the lands covered by the basis document and the acquired lands brought under Categories I, II and III and fixed the land value for the lands brought under Category I at Rs.1,17,072/- per Are which is 20% above the land value shown in the basis document, Category II at Rs.1,05,364/- per Are which is 10% above the land value shown in the basis document and Category III at Rs.78,048/- per Are which is 20% below the land value shown in the basis document. As far as the lands brought under Categories IV and V are concerned, the Land Acquisition Officer, after comparing the same with the LAA No.83 of 2016 & con cases 61 land covered by the basis document, fixed the land value for the lands brought under Category IV at Rs.85,561/- per Are and fixed the land value for the lands brought under Category V at Rs.74,866/- per Are. The lands involved in these appeals are lands brought under Categories IV and V.

4. We have gone through meticulously the judgments which are impugned in the appeals, and we find that they are not consistent insofar as the same relates to the land value of the acquired lands. That apart, we also find that the claimants in the proceedings have not adduced any useful evidence in support of their claim for enhanced land value. In the absence of any evidence, it is seen that the reference court in most of the cases has relied on a document, namely Sale Deed No.291/2009 on the basis of which enhanced land value has been granted by the reference court for the lands brought under Categories I, II and III. Having been confronted with such a situation, the learned counsel for the claimants submitted that the land value for the lands brought under Categories IV and V also can be fixed at par with the fixation of land value LAA No.83 of 2016 & con cases 62 made by this Court for lands brought under Categories I, II and III in terms of the judgment in L.A.A.No.147 of 2017 and connected cases, in the appeals preferred by the State against the awards in such cases.

5. It is seen that in terms of the judgment in L.A.A.No.147 of 2017 and connected cases, in a batch appeals filed by the State against awards passed by the reference court in respect of lands acquired for the same purpose pursuant to the same notification, we have fixed the land value for the lands brought under Category I at Rs.6,22,650/- per Are, Category II at Rs.5,70,757/- per Are and Category III at Rs.4,15,100/- per Are. In the absence of any other material enabling the claimants to claim a better land value based on a different yardstick, we are of the view that inasmuch as the Land Acquisition Officer fixed the land value for all these lands after classifying the lands into different categories, the land value for the lands brought under Categories IV and V also can be fixed on the same yardstick followed by us in L.A.A.No.147 of 2017 and connected cases. LAA No.83 of 2016 & con cases 63

6. As noted, the land value was fixed by the Land Acquisition Officer for the lands brought under Category III at Rs.78,048/- per Are and it was that amount that was enhanced and re-fixed by us at Rs.4,15,100/- per Are. If the land value for the lands brought under Category IV is fixed on that basis, the same would work out to be Rs.4,55,058/- per Are. Similarly, on the same yardstick, if the land value for the lands brought under Category V is calculated, the same would work out to be Rs.3,98,080/- per Are. Needless to say, all the appeals preferred by the State challenging the judgments in which the land value has been fixed over and above the fixation made by us are to be allowed in part and the appeals preferred by the State challenging the judgments in which the land value has been fixed below the fixation made by us are to be dismissed. It is seen that all the appeals except L.A.A.Nos.201 of 2017 and 128 of 2016 are cases where the land value has been fixed in the impugned judgments below the land value fixed by us. In other words, the said appeals are to be dismissed and all the remaining appeals are to be allowed in part. LAA No.83 of 2016 & con cases 64

7. In the result, the land value for the lands brought under Category IV is fixed at Rs.4,55,058/- per Are and the land value for the lands brought under Category V is fixed at Rs.3,98,080/- per Are. L.A.A.Nos.201 of 2017 and 128 of 2016 are therefore dismissed and the remaining appeals are allowed in part. Interlocutory applications, if any, pending in these appeals are dismissed.

These appeals arise from the judgments/awards in a batch of references made under Section 18 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 (the Act) in respect of lands in Kuttappuzha Village acquired for doubling of railway line from Chengannoor to Chingavanam, pursuant to a notification issued on 18.07.2009 in terms of Section 4(1) of the Act. Even though the references were not tried jointly and disposed of together, as the acquired lands involved in the cases were similarly LAA No.83 of 2016 & con cases 59 classified by the Land Acquisition Officer for the purpose of acquisition, we are disposing of these appeals by this common judgment.

2. Heard the learned counsel for the parties on either side.

3. The Land Acquisition Officer classified the acquired lands into six different categories for the purpose of acquisition, of which category I are dry lands having access from PWD road and Municipal road in main residential area, category II are dry lands having access from Municipal road and Railway mud road in main residential area, category III are dry lands having access only through Railway puramboke or pathway but nearby to town area, and reclaimed land near town, category IV are dry lands having access from road, but situated away from town and in less developed area, and category V are reclaimed lands having access from railway puramboke or pathway situated away from town and in less developed area. The note to award prepared by the Land Acquisition Officer in connection with the acquisition reveals LAA No.83 of 2016 & con cases 60 that for the purpose of fixing the land value of the lands brought under Categories I, II and III, the Land Acquisition Officer has taken into account the land value shown in Sale Deed No.1492/2008 of SRO, Thiruvalla dated 12.05.2008 and for the purpose of fixing the land value of the lands brought under Categories IV and V, the Land Acquisition Officer has taken into account the land value shown in Sale Deed No.1724/2008 of SRO, Thiruvalla. The note to award also reveals that the Land Acquisition Officer has made a comparison between the lands covered by the basis document and the acquired lands brought under Categories I, II and III and fixed the land value for the lands brought under Category I at Rs.1,17,072/- per Are which is 20% above the land value shown in the basis document, Category II at Rs.1,05,364/- per Are which is 10% above the land value shown in the basis document and Category III at Rs.78,048/- per Are which is 20% below the land value shown in the basis document. As far as the lands brought under Categories IV and V are concerned, the Land Acquisition Officer, after comparing the same with the LAA No.83 of 2016 & con cases 61 land covered by the basis document, fixed the land value for the lands brought under Category IV at Rs.85,561/- per Are and fixed the land value for the lands brought under Category V at Rs.74,866/- per Are. The lands involved in these appeals are lands brought under Categories IV and V.

4. We have gone through meticulously the judgments which are impugned in the appeals, and we find that they are not consistent insofar as the same relates to the land value of the acquired lands. That apart, we also find that the claimants in the proceedings have not adduced any useful evidence in support of their claim for enhanced land value. In the absence of any evidence, it is seen that the reference court in most of the cases has relied on a document, namely Sale Deed No.291/2009 on the basis of which enhanced land value has been granted by the reference court for the lands brought under Categories I, II and III. Having been confronted with such a situation, the learned counsel for the claimants submitted that the land value for the lands brought under Categories IV and V also can be fixed at par with the fixation of land value LAA No.83 of 2016 & con cases 62 made by this Court for lands brought under Categories I, II and III in terms of the judgment in L.A.A.No.147 of 2017 and connected cases, in the appeals preferred by the State against the awards in such cases.

5. It is seen that in terms of the judgment in L.A.A.No.147 of 2017 and connected cases, in a batch appeals filed by the State against awards passed by the reference court in respect of lands acquired for the same purpose pursuant to the same notification, we have fixed the land value for the lands brought under Category I at Rs.6,22,650/- per Are, Category II at Rs.5,70,757/- per Are and Category III at Rs.4,15,100/- per Are. In the absence of any other material enabling the claimants to claim a better land value based on a different yardstick, we are of the view that inasmuch as the Land Acquisition Officer fixed the land value for all these lands after classifying the lands into different categories, the land value for the lands brought under Categories IV and V also can be fixed on the same yardstick followed by us in L.A.A.No.147 of 2017 and connected cases. LAA No.83 of 2016 & con cases 63

6. As noted, the land value was fixed by the Land Acquisition Officer for the lands brought under Category III at Rs.78,048/- per Are and it was that amount that was enhanced and re-fixed by us at Rs.4,15,100/- per Are. If the land value for the lands brought under Category IV is fixed on that basis, the same would work out to be Rs.4,55,058/- per Are. Similarly, on the same yardstick, if the land value for the lands brought under Category V is calculated, the same would work out to be Rs.3,98,080/- per Are. Needless to say, all the appeals preferred by the State challenging the judgments in which the land value has been fixed over and above the fixation made by us are to be allowed in part and the appeals preferred by the State challenging the judgments in which the land value has been fixed below the fixation made by us are to be dismissed. It is seen that all the appeals except L.A.A.Nos.201 of 2017 and 128 of 2016 are cases where the land value has been fixed in the impugned judgments below the land value fixed by us. In other words, the said appeals are to be dismissed and all the remaining appeals are to be allowed in part. LAA No.83 of 2016 & con cases 64

7. In the result, the land value for the lands brought under Category IV is fixed at Rs.4,55,058/- per Are and the land value for the lands brought under Category V is fixed at Rs.3,98,080/- per Are. L.A.A.Nos.201 of 2017 and 128 of 2016 are therefore dismissed and the remaining appeals are allowed in part. Interlocutory applications, if any, pending in these appeals are dismissed.
