APPLICATION NO.827 OF 2008 ---------------------------------------------------------------- Dated this the 22nd day of May, 2008 JUDGMENT Kurian Joseph, J. C.M. Application No.827 of 2008 is an application to condone the delay of 882 days in filing the appeal. The appeal is filed against the judgment and decree in L.A.R. No.51 of 1998 on the file of the Sub Court, Pala and it pertains to acquisition for Moovattupuzha Valley Irrigation Project. It is not in dispute that in several other cases this Court has already upheld the enhancement upto 65 %. Hence, there is no merit in this appeal. The appeal and the application are accordingly dismissed. I.A. No.1762 of 2008 is also dismissed. (KURIAN JOSEPH, JUDGE) (HARUN-UL-RASHID, JUDGE) sp/ KURIAN JOSEPH & HAURN-UL-RASHID, JJ. L.A.A.
