No.60 of 2008 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dated: 10th July, 2008 JUDGMENT This appeal by the Government relates to acquisition of 29 sq. metre land in Ulloor Village for the construction of four lane road from Mannanthala to Kesavadasapuram pursuant to a notification under Section 4(1) dated 6.7.1999. The land acquisition officer had fixed the land value at the rate of Rs.1,40,505/- per are. This was enhanced by the reference court to Rs.2 lakhs per are on the basis of Ext.A1 judgment of the same court in LAR No.12/2002. Having gone through the judgment, I am convinced that reliance placed on Ext.A1 by the reference court was perfectly justified. I had occasion to consider other cases relating to the very same Section 4(1) notification where similar enhancement had been granted by the reference court. Those appeals were dismissed by this court. In view of the decision taken on those appeals also, this appeal will stand dismissed in limine. srd PIUS C.KURIAKOSE, JUDGE
