We have gone through the impugned judgment and we have heard the submissions of Sri.P.K.Babu, learned Government Pleader for the appellant. We are of the view that the learned Sub Judge was justified in placing reliance on Ext.A1 judgment, which was a common judgment in relation to three other cases pertaining to the very same acquisition, wherein the land acquisition reference court had granted higher value than the values given in these cases to the claimants. Ext.A1 is the judgment in L.A.R.Nos 51,55 & 56/2002. The Registry has reported that L.A.A. No.1566/2008 preferred against L.A.R. No.55/2002) has been disposed of. A copy of the judgment dated 5/9/2008 in L.A.A. No.1566/2008 is made available. It is seen from that judgment that this court has confirmed the judgment of the reference court in L.A.A. No.55/2002 finding that the fixation of the market value of the land at the rate of Rs.24,711/- is justified. L.A.A..Nos.2040/2008 & 331/2009 2 In view of the judgment in L.A.A.1566/2008, these appeals will stand dismissed. PIUS.C.KURIAKOSE,JUDGE M.C..HARI RANI, JUDGE dpk
