This revision is filed as against the order of the Reference Court made in C.M.A.No.14 of 2000 dated 20.02.2003, enhancing the compensation from Rs.200/- per cent to Rs.1000/-per cent.

¶16

The land in question was acquired by the revision petitioner at the rate of Rs.200/- per cent and the compensation was fixed at Rs.46,920/-. The same was objected by the respondent and thereafter, a reference was made before the Sub-Court, cheyyar. The Reference Court examined the witnesses and also marked Ex.P1 to Ex.P9 and D.W.1 to D.W.10 and fixed compensation at the rate of Rs.1000/- per cent. As against which, the

present revision petition is filed.

On perusal of the entire judgment of the Trial Court, the Trial

¶19

Court has considered the location of the land acquired and also taken note

¶20

of the sale deed relating to the year 1990 and fixed the compensation as Rs.1000/- per cent. Though the respondent has claimed Rs.3000/- per cent, the Reference Court, considering the entire evidence viz., oral as well as documentary evidence, particularly, the sale deed filed on the side of the respondent, had fixed Rs.1000/- per cent as compensation. In fact, the Reference Court has factually arrived at the finding on the basis of the

registered documents prior to the acquisition.

¶24

In view of the above, I do not find any illegality in the order passed

by the Trial Court. Hence, the revision petition lacks merits and the same is
