These appeals pertain to the acquisition of land in Manacaud Village in Thiruvananthapuram District for the purposes of the Government Homeopathic Medical College. Section 4(1) notification was published on 13/10/2008. The land acquisition officer awarded land value at the rates of Rs.30,020/- and 29,559/- per Are.(practically the same value). The reference court on the basis of the evidence which came on record, would refix the land value in these cases at Rs.80,000/- per Are. The evidence before the reference court consisted of Exts.A1, A2, AW1, AW2, Ext.R1 to R6 and Ext.C1. The reference court relying mainly on Ext.A2 judgment in L.A.R. No.32/2003 and on the basis of Ext.C1 commission report and the oral testimony of the petitioner as AW1 and the commissioner as AW2, held that the claimants are entitled to re fixation of land value at the rate of Rs..80,000/- per Are. On noticing that Ext.A2 has attained finality, we have already dismissed L.A.A. No.2494/2008, an L.A.A.2101/08 & others -2- appeal in which also the reference court had granted almost the same enhancement. 2. Under the above circumstances, we do not find any warrant for interfering the enhancement granted by the reference court in these cases. All these appeals will stand dismissed in limine.
