PADMANABHAN NAIR ,J ------------------------------------------------- L.A.Appln.No.567 of 2005 ------------------------------------------------- Dated, this the 6th day of September, 2007 JUDGMENT State has filed this appeal challenging the decree and judgment passed in L.A.R.No.256/1999 by the Additional Sub Judge, Kottayam. Learned Sub Judge relying on the judgment passed in L.A.R.No.272/1999 which was produced and marked as Ext.A1 granted enhancement. The stand taken by the State Government in this appeal is that Ext.A1 judgment has not become final and conclusive. State has filed L.A.A.No.1289/2002 challenging Ext.A1 judgment. By judgment dated 3.4.2006 a Division Bench of this Court dismissed that appeal. So I do not find any reason to interfere with the compensation awarded by the learned Sub Judge especially in view of the fact that enhancement awarded is only reasonable. In the result, Land Acquisition Appeal is dismissed. I.A.No.1558/2005 will stand dismissed. K. PADMANABHAN NAIR JUDGE cks
