IN THE HIGH COURT OF KERALA AT ERNAKULAM PRESENT : THE HONOURABLE MR.

PIUS C. KURIAKOSE,J. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - L.A.A.No.1551 of 2007 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dated: 6th June, 2008 JUDGMENT Even though the learned Government Pleader addressed me very strenuously, I do not think any useful purpose will be served from the point of view of the Government by admitting this appeal. The appeal pertains to acquisition in Aluva West Village for the purpose of widening NH 47, Aluva-Angamaly Reach pursuant to Section 4(1) notification dated 27.7.2000. The land acquisition officer awarded land value at the rate of Rs.2,37,624/- per Are. The learned Subordinate Judge relying mainly on Ext.A1 judgment in a connected matter (another case covered by the very same Section 4(1) notification), granted the enhancement of 75% over the value awarded by the officer. It is now brought to my notice that against Ext.A1 judgment the Government preferred appeal, L.A.A.No.854/06 before this court and that L.A.A. was dismissed by this court confirming the enhancement granted under Ext.A1. In view of the finality attained by Ext.A1, it is only appropriate that this judgment is also made final. Moreover, it is seen that the property is situated in Aluva town and has direct frontage of NH 47. Having regard to the market value of the property in that area and the circumstance that LAA No.1551/07 - 2 - the Government did not adduce any counter evidence to the evidence which was adduced by the respondent, there is no warrant for interference. The appeal fails and the same will stand dismissed. srd PIUS C.KURIAKOSE, JUDGE
