We do not find any reason to admit this appeal preferred by the government. The case pertains to acquisition of land in Manjoor village pursuant to a notification under Section 4(1) published on 6-12-2002. The land acquisition officer awarded land value at the rate of Rs.13,890/- per Are. The reference court on appreciating the evidence would refix the land value at the rate of Rs. 24,308/- per Are. In fact there was oral evidence on the aside of the claimants alone. The evidence consisted not only of sale deeds but also of a relevant court judgment. There was Commissioner's report also. Having gone through the impugned judgment, we are of the view that the appreciation of evidence by the learned Subordinate Judge was correct and that the approach of the learned Subordinate Judge towards determination of land value was also reasonable. The result is that, the appeal will stand dismissed. PIUS.C.KURIAKOSE, JUDGE P.Q.BARKATH ALI, JUDGE sv. sv.
