The property was acquired for the purpose of doubling the Kollam-Thiruvananthapuram railway line. Land Acquisition Officer awarded an amount of Rs.21,881/- per Are. Land Acquisition Court allowed an enhancement of 40%. The total enhancement awarded in this case is Rs.7,878/-. Considering the fact that the subject matter of this appeal is only a meagre amount, I do not propose to admit and keep the appeal pending. So the appeal is only to be dismissed. In the result, appeal is dismissed. I.A.No.766/2007 in L.A.A.No.240/2007 will stand dismissed. K. PADMANABHAN NAIR, JUDGE. cks
