Even though some of the grounds raised in the memorandum of appeal are attractive, we are not inclined to entertain this appeal. The case pertains to acquisition of land in Thycaud Village in Thiruvananthapuram Taluk for the purpose of widening of Karamana – Killippalam Reach III pursuant to Section 4(1) notification published on 30/8/1998. The land acquisition officer awarded land value at the rate of Rs.1,64,673/- per Are which was enhanced by the reference court on the basis of the evidence to Rs.6,00,000/- per Are. It is brought to our notice that this court by judgment in L.A.A.No.2021/2008 has approved the enhancement of the land value made by the reference court from Rs.1,56,831/- to Rs.6,00,000/- per Are in respect of another case pertaining to acquisition for widening of Karamana –Killippalam Reach II pursuant to the same notification. Following the reasons stated LAA.No.766/2009 2 in that judgment, we approve the enhancement granted under the impugned judgment also. The appeal will stand dismissed in limine.
