Application No.2085 of 2007 is an application to condone the delay of 575 days in filing the appeal. It is seen that the reference court has only granted 50% enhancement over and above the land value fixed by the Land Acquisition Officer. Such enhancement has been sustained by this Court in several cases (L.A.A. Nos. 991 of 2005 and 125 of 2006). Hence, the application and the appeal are dismissed.
