HARILAL, JJ. ------------------------------------------------ L. A. A. No.606 of 2009 ------------------------------------------------ Dated this the 23rd day of November, 2011 JUDGMENT Pius C. Kuriakose, J Even though several apparently attractive grounds have been raised and Sri.C.R.Shyamkumar, the learned senior Government Pleader addressed submissions based on those grounds, we do not find warrant for interference with the award of the Reference Court. The property was in Pattom village and the purpose of acquisition was construction of Plamoodu Bridge. The relevant Section 4(1) notification was published on 28/08/98. The Land Acquisition Officer awarded land value at the rate of ` 2,15,393/- per Are. The Reference Court re-fixed the same at ` 6,10,493/- per Are. This was done mainly relying on Ext.A1 judgment. It is brought to our notice that Ext.A1 judgment has attained finality. 2. On going through the impugned judgment we feel L. A. A. No.606 of 2009 -2- that the reliance placed by the learned Subordinate Judge on Ext.A1 was quite justifiable. The appeal will stand dismissed. Sd/- PIUS C. KURIAKOSE JUDGE Sd/- K.
