We do not find any ground to admit this appeal. The case pertains to acquisition of land in Pettah village for the expansion of International Air Port, Thiruvananthapuram pursuant to a notification under Section 4(1) dated 04-02-1999. The land acquisition officer awarded land value at the rate of Rs.74,105/- per Are. Under the impugned judgment, this was enhanced by the reference court to Rs. 1 lakh. It is fairly brought to our notice by Sri.Basant Balaji, learned senior Government Pleader himself that this court by judgment in L.A.A.No.1706/2007 has approved enhancement of land value from Rs. 74105/- to Rs. 1,11,150/- per Are in an identical matter i.e. acquisition for the same purpose pursuant to the same notification where the land acquisition officer has awarded the same value. The appeal will stand dismissed. PIUS.C.KURIAKOSE, JUDGE P.Q.BARKATH ALI, JUDGE sv. sv.
