THIS LAND ACQUISITION APPEAL HAVING BEEN FINALLY HEARD ON 09/01/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: M.N. KRISHNAN, J ----------------------- L.A.A.No. 434 OF 2008 --------------------------------- Dated this the 9th day of January, 2009 JUDGMENT This is an appeal preferred against the award in L.A.R. 21/2005 of the Subordinate Judge, Payyannur. It was a reference under Section 28A(3) of the Land Acquisition Act. An extent of 0.1014 hectors of land was acquired for the establishment of Naval Academy. Dissatisfied with the amount of compensation, petition filed under Section 28A was rejected. A perusal of the award make it crystal clear that by virtue of the judgment of this Court in L.A.A. 215/98 when L.A.R 120/87 was taken in appeal this court enhanced the compensation at the rate of Rs. 1,500/- per cent. So the relied on judgment modified by the High Court would establish that the land value at Rs. 1,500/- per cent. It has become final and there is no scope for inference with the award passed by the Land Acquisition Court. Therefore the appeal lacks merit and same is dismissed but without costs. M.N. KRISHNAN,JUDGE vkm
