THIS LAND ACQUISITION APPEAL HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 18/09/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: PIUS.C.KURIAKOSE, J. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - L.A.A.No. 1657 OF 2008 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dated this the 18th day of September, 2008 JUDGMENT This appeal by the Government pertains 5.20 Ares of land in Vallikunnan village acquired for the purposes of KIP pursuant to a notification under Section 4(1) dated 8-4-1989. The awarding officer awarded land value at the rate of Rs. 4966/- per Are. The reference court relied on Ext.A1 common judgment and enhanced the land value to Rs. 11,500/-. Having heard the submissions of the learned Government Pleader and having gone through the impugned judgment, I feel that the learned Judge was certainly justified in relying on Ext.A1 since Ext.A1 was also in respect of acquisition pursuant to the very same purpose. Learned Government Pleader fairly concedes that Ext.A1 has attained finality since the appeals preferred against two cases covered by Ext.A1 have been dismissed by a Division Bench of this court. According to me, no useful purpose will be served from the government's point of view by admitting this appeal. The appeal will stand dismissed inlimine. PIUS.C.KURIAKOSE JUDGE sv
