We are not inclined to entertain this appeal, which pertains to acquisition of land in Chirakkadavu village for the purpose of improvement of Ponkunnam bus stand. The Land Acquisition Officer awarded land value at the rate of Rs.1,23,240/- per Are, which was refixed by the Reference Court at Rs.2,46,478/- per Are. In fact, the enhancement under the impugned judgment is granted relying on Ext.R1. It is brought to our notice that on considering certain appeals preferred by the claimants, whose lands were also acquired for the same purpose, this court has enhanced the rate. Under the above circumstances, this appeal will stand dismissed. No costs. PIUS C.KURIAKOSE,JUDGE K.SURENDRA MOHAN, JUDGE dpk
