This appeal by the government pertains to acquisition of land in Petta village for the expansion of the International Airport at Thiruvananthapuram. The relevant section 4(1) notification was published on 04/02/1999. The land acquisition officer awarded land value at the rate of Rs.91,867/- per Are. The reference court relying on the evidence which came on record refixed the land value at the rate of Rs.1,50,000/- per Are. It is brought to our notice that in L.A.A.No.77/2009 this court has already approved the same rate of enhancement granted by the reference court to similar property covered by the very same acquisition ( see the judgment in L.A.A.NO.77/2009). Hence the appeal will stand dismissed in limine. PIUS.C.KURIAKOSE JUDGE K.SURENDRA MOHAN JUDGE sv.
