No. 1362/07 This is an application to condone the delay of 504 days in filing the appeal. On merits it is seen that the appeal is filed by the State aggrieved by the fixation of land value by the reference court. Acquisition pertains to Kannur Airport. 2. The reference court fixed the land value at the rate of Rs.3,250/- per cent. It is brought to our notice that this Court has sustained such fixation, since Land Acquisition Officer himself had granted land value at the rate of Rs.2,200/- per cent. Therefore, the application for condonation of delay and the appeal are dismissed. KURIAN JOSEPH JUDGE HARUN-UL-RASHID JUDGE smp
