ABDUL REHIM, JJ. ------------------------------------------------ L. A. A. No.745 of 2008 ------------------------------------------------ Dated this the 20th day of July, 2010 JUDGMENT Pius C. Kuriakose, J Service of notice to the respondents is yet to be completed. But having considered the impugned judgment once again and having kept in mind the rates and land value approved by this Court in the same village and the neighbouring villages, we are of the view that the re-fixation of land value under the impugned judgment at Rs.8037/- per Are (Pothanikkad village - date of Section 4(1) notification was on 12/04/03) is not exorbitant. We are not inclined to entertain this appeal any longer. Without granting time to the L. A. A. No.745 of 2008 -2- Government for curing the defect in the process, the appeal will stand rejected.
