As against the land value awarded by the land acquisition officer, the reference court in this case and number of connected cases re-fixed the value at Rs. 17,500/- per cent. It is brought to my notice that the Division Bench which considered a number of appeals preferred by the Government against such re-fixation by the reference court dismissed the appeals. A copy of the common judgment in L.A.A. Nos. 213, 766, 909 of 2008 and L.A.A.Nos. 68, 416, 1079, 1181 and 1666 of 2007 is made available for perusal. That judgment will show that the refixation of land value at the rate of RS. 17,500/- for similar properties has been approved by the Division Bench. Under these circumstances, I am of the view that no useful purpose will be served from the point of view of the government by admitting this appeal. Appeal is dismissed in limine.
