That judgment related to acquisition pursuant to the very same Section 4 (1) notification and in that case also the same rate of land value had been give by the officer. The Registry reports that judgment in L.A.R. No.152/2000 has attained finality in the sense that no appeal has been preferred against that judgment. The Government Pleader also submits that no appeal has been submitted against the judgment in L.A.R. No.152/2000. Under the above circumstances, I do not find any warrant for admitting this appeal. This appeal will stand dismissed in limine. (PIUS.C.KURIAKOSE,JUDGE) dpk
