SRI.M.V.BOSE FOR R.1 THIS LAND ACQUISITION APPEAL HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 17/11/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: M.N. KRISHNAN, J. ........................................... L.A.A.No.708 OF 2007 ............................................. Dated this the 17th day of November, 2009 J U D G M E N T This is an appeal preferred against the award of the Land Acquisition Court, North Paravur in L.A.R.No.103/2002. An extent of 00.44 Ares of land comprised in Sy.No.360/6-b and 360/7-14 in Paravur Village was acquired for the construction of a bridge. The land value was fixed at Rs.17,488/= per Are. It is against that decision, a reference was made and the reference court relying upon the judgment of the court in LAR.No.133/2002 etc. permitted the enhancement at 70% and it is against that decision, the appeal is preferred. 2. Heard the learned counsel. The learned Government Pleader in fairness submits before me that an appeal, L.A.A.No.1140/2007, was preferred against the award in L.A.R.No.133/2002 and this Court had dismissed the said appeal on 24.7.2008 by its judgment. 3. So, the relied on judgment has attained finality and there is no dispute that the lands are similar and similarly : 2 : L.A.A.No.708 OF 2007 situated. In the light of the disposal of the appeal in LAR.No.133/2002 whereby the compensation is upheld, I do not find any ground to interfere with the enhancement awarded in this case as well. Therefore, the appeal fails and the same is dismissed. M.N. KRISHNAN, JUDGE cl : 3 : L.A.A.No.708 OF 2007
