We do not find any ground to admit this appeal filed by the Government, which pertains to acquisition of land in Pettah Village pursuant to Section 4(1) notification published on 11/12/1998. The land acquisition officer awarded land value at the rate of Rs.62,929/- per Are. The reference court on the basis of the evidence which consisted of testimony of AW 1 and A1 sale document apart from R1 to R3 documents relating to the award file, refixed the land value at Rs.86,450/- per Are. 2. We find that the findings of the learned Subordinate Judge are founded on the evidence available on record. As noticed by the reference court, no counter oral evidence was adduced by the Government to the evidence given by AW1. Findings of the learned Subordinate Judge, in our view, are reasonable. The appeal will stand dismissed in limine. PIUS.C.KURIAKOSE,JUDGE C.K.ABDUL REHIM, JUDGE dpk
