THIS LAND ACQUISITION APPEAL HAVING BEEN FINALLY HEARD ON 29/06/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: PIUS C.KURIAKOSE & C.K.ABDUL REHIM, JJ. ------------------------ L.A.A.No. 660 OF 2010 ------------------------ Dated this the 29th day of June, 2010 JUDGMENT Pius C.Kuriakose, J. We are not inclined to entertain this appeal which pertains to acquisition of land in Kakkanad village pursuant to section 4 (1) notification published on 18/7/2005. The Land Acquisition Officer included this property in category 4 and awarded value at the rate of Rs.86,800/- per Are. The Reference Court on the basis of the evidence refixed the land value at Rs.1,51,550/- per Are, thus granting enhancement of 75% over what was granted by the Land Acquisition Officer. We notice our own judgment in L.A.A. No.1184/2009. That case pertains to acquisition for the same purpose and the same notification, but the category was different. However, we feel that there is justification for approving the present enhancement as in that case where we had approved the enhancement of land value by 75%. After all, the property was in Kakkanad village and was very near to the LAA.No.660/2010 2 Ernakulam District Headquarters. The appeal will stand dismissed in limine. No costs.
