THIS LAND ACQUISITION APPEAL HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 16/06/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: PIUS.C.KURIAKOSE & P.Q.BARKATH ALI, JJ. ------------------------ L.A.A.No.622 OF 2009 ------------------------ Dated this the 16th day of June, 2009 JUDGMENT Pius C.Kuriakose, J. We do not find any ground to admit this appeal, which pertains to acquisition of land in Vanchiyoor village within the area of the Thiruvananthapuaram Corporation. The land acquisition officer awarded land value at the rate of Rs.72040/- per Are which was enhanced by the reference court to Rs.1,08,100/- per Are. Reliance was placed by the learned Subordinate Judge mainly on the judgment of the same court in L.A.R. No. 259/1997. It is not known whether the above judgment has become final. But, on going through the impugned judgment and taking into account the fact that the property is situated in Vanchiyoor village within the heart area of the Thiruvananthapuram Corporation, we are of the view that the enhancement granted is reasonable. We also notice that the total stakes involved in this appeal is only Rs.17,670/-. For all the above reasons, this appeal will stand dismissed in limine.
