J U D G M E N T PIUS.C.KURIAKOSE, J. Eventhough apparently attractive grounds are raised and Sri.M.R.Sabu, learned senior Government Pleader addressed submissions based on those grounds, we are not inclined to interfere with the award of the reference court. The property was in Vengeri village of Kozhikode Taluk and the acquisition was pursuant to section 4(1) notification published on 13.7.1993. The land was dry land, for which the Land Acquisition Officer awarded Rs.13,167/- per are. Under the impugned award, the reference court refixed the land value at Rs.74,100/- corresponding to Rs.30,000/- per cent. When we take into account judgments of this Court pertaining to acquisition of land in Vengeri village, including our own judgment delivered today in L.A.A.No.1214 of 2009, we do not find warrant for 2 L.A.A.No.1521 of 2008 interference. The appeal is dismissed without any order as to costs. PIUS.C.KURIAKOSE, JUDGE C.K.ABDUL REHIM, JUDGE ami/
