SURENDRA MOHAN, JJ. ------------------------------------------------ L. A. A. No.1297 of 2008 ------------------------------------------------ Dated this the 14th day of October, 2009 JUDGMENT Pius C. Kuriakose, J Smt.Latha T. Thankappan, the senior Government Pleader is certainly right when she submits that in many cases the Reference Court re-fixed the land value of properties similarly valued by the Land Acquisition Officer at Rs.2 lakhs only per Are and this Court approved such re-fixation. But, we find that in this particular case it was Ext.A1 judgment which was relied on. Having gone through the impugned judgment, we feel that the reliance placed on Ext.A1 was justified. Registry now reports to us that Ext.A1 has become final in the sense that no appeal has been L. A. A. No.1297 of 2008 -2- preferred against Ext.A1. The appeal will stand dismissed. No costs. PIUS C.
