THIS LAND ACQUISITION APPEAL HAVING BEEN FINALLY HEARD ON 11/08/2010,THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: PIUS C. KURIAKOSE & C. K. ABDUL REHIM, JJ. ------------------------------------------------ L. A. A. No.943 of 2010 ------------------------------------------------ Dated this the 11th day of August, 2010 JUDGMENT Pius C. Kuriakose, J We are not inclined to entertain this appeal filed by the Government. The property was in Edappally North Village and the acquisition was for the purpose of National Highway 17. Having gone through the impugned judgment, we are of the view that the enhancement granted by the Reference Court on land value is not excessive. But it appears to us that the court below has committed mistake while awarding compensation for injurious affection. The mistake is in mentioning the extent of land injuriously affected. L. A. A. No.943 of 2010 -2- Instead of stating 2.935 cents what is stated is 2.935 Ares. Since this appears to be as a patent mistake, even as we dismiss the L.A.A. we permit the Government to apply to the Reference Court under Section 152 for necessary corrections in the judgment and decree.
