No. 383 of 2007 A ``````````````````````````````````````````````````````` Dated this the 18th day of November, 2009 J U D G M E N T Pius C. Kuriakose, J. This appeal by the government pertains to acquisition of land in Mangad village of Kollam district for the purpose of formation of National Highway By-pass pursuant to Section 4(1) notification, which was published on 11-11-1992. The Land Acquisition Officer awarded land value at the rate of Rs.11,022/-. Under the impugned judgment, the reference court enhanced the same to Rs.24,700/-. 2. It is fairly conceded by the learned Government Pleader Smt.Latha T. Thankappan that this Court, by judgment in L.A.A.No.693/2006, approved the enhancement of land value in the same village for the same purpose from Rs.10,030/- per Are to Rs.24,700/-. 3. In view of the above submission, we do not find any warrant to interfere with the enhancement granted under the impugned judgment. The learned Government Pleader submits LAA.383/07 : 2 : that certain mistakes have crept into the impugned judgment, while awarding the statutory benefits under Sections 23(1A) and 28 of the Land Acquisition Act. These mistakes, according to her, are the result of accidental slips or omissions. If that be so, it is always open to the government to apply for carrying out the corrections under Section 152 or 153, as the case may be, before the court below. If any such application is filed by the government before the court below, such application will be disposed of by the court below in accordance with law with notice to the claimants. The appeal is dismissed. No costs. (PIUS C. KURIAKOSE, JUDGE) (K.SURENDRA MOHAN, JUDGE) aks
