NO.2289/2008 & L.A.A.No. 2236 OF 2008 ------------------------ Dated this the 25th day of November, 2008 JUDGMENT This appeal by the requisitioning authority is directed against the award of the reference court enhancing the compensation at the rate of Rs.7876/- awarded by the land acquisition officer to Rs.17297/- per Are. It is brought to my notice that enhancement at the above rate has been approved not only by this court, but also by the Supreme Court. Therefore, I am of the view that no useful purpose will be served from the appellant's point of view by condoning the delay or admitting this appeal. Accordingly, delay petition will stand dismissed and consequently the appeal will stand rejected. (PIUS.C.KURIAKOSE,JUDGE) dpk
