PIUS C. KURIAKOSE,J. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - L.A.A.No.417 of 2008 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dated: 10th July, 2008 JUDGMENT I am not inclined to admit this appeal filed by the Government since according to me no useful purpose will be served by the Government's point of view by admitting this appeal. The case pertains to acquisition of 0.30 Ares of land in Kanakkary Village in Kottayam District for the purposes of MVIP Branch Canal pursuant to a notification under Section 4(1) dated 10.1.2000. The land acquisition officer had awarded land value at the rate of Rs.10,249/- per Are. This land value was enhanced by the reference court to Rs.6149/- per Are. The evidence before the reference court consisted mainly on Ext.A1 judgment of the same court in LAR No.226/02. Having gone through the judgment, I am convinced that the learned Subordinate Judge was justified in placing reliance on Ext.A1. It is brought to my notice that Ext.A1 has attained finality in the sense that no appeal has been preferred by the Government against Ext.A1. This appeal therefore will stand dismissed in limine. srd PIUS C.KURIAKOSE, JUDGE
