We are not inclined to admit this appeal, which pertains to acquisition of land in Cheppad village for the purpose of NTPC pursuant to Section 4 (1) notification published on 19/10/1996. As against the land value of Rs.3,056/- awarded by the land acquisition officer, the reference court on the basis of the evidence which came on record, re fixed the land value at the rate of Rs.4,584/- per Are. Having gone through the judgment, we do not find any warrant for interfering with the same. We feel that it is the correct market value of the property at the relevant time which has been arrived at by the court below. The appeal will stand dismissed in limine.
