THIS LAND ACQUISITION APPEAL HAVING BEEN FINALLY HEARD ON 01/07/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: PIUS C.KURIAKOSE & C.K.ABDUL REHIM, JJ. ------------------------ L.A.A.No. 651 OF 2010 ------------------------ Dated this the 1st day of July, 2010 JUDGMENT Pius C.Kuriakose, J. We are not inclined to entertain this appeal, which pertains to acquisition of land in Mulavukad village for the purpose of construction of 4 line connectivity Road from NH-47 to Vallarpadam Terminal. The notification was published on 26/10/2005. The Land Acquisition Officer awarded value at the rate of Rs.11,176/- per Are. The Reference Court, considering the evidence and particularly Ext.A4 Government Order and Ext.C1 commission report, would refix the value at Rs.36,432.50 per Are. 2. On going through the impugned judgment, we find that the Court below did not award the value reflected in Ext.A4. The Court granted only about one half of that value. Having regard to the importance of the locality, we are of the view that the Government cannot have any legitimate grievance regarding L.A.A.No.651/2010 2 the refixation done by the Reference Court. The appeal will stand dismissed in limine. No costs. PIUS C.KURIAKOSE,JUDGE C.K.ABDUL REHIM , JUDGE dpk
