THIS LAND ACQUISITION APPEAL HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 19/01/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: M.N. KRISHNAN, J. = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = L.A.A. NO. 21 OF 2009 = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = Dated this the 19th day of January, 2009. J U D G M E N T This is an appeal preferred against the award of the Land Acquisition Court, Neyyattinkara in LAR 5/04. An extent of 0.10 Ares comprised in Sy.No.24/210 of Neyyattinkara village was acquired along with other properties for the construction of Arakkunnathukadavu bridge and its approach road. The Land Acquisition Officer fixed the land value at Rs.25,283/-. The claimant claimed an amount of Rs.1,00,000/- per cent and the Land Acquisition Court relying upon the common judgment in LAR 4/04 etc. marked as Ext.A1 fixed the land value at Rs.50,000/- per Are and disposed of the matter. At the out set it has to be stated that the property acquired is of a very negligent extent. The stake involved is also very low. There is nothing before me to contradict anything regarding Ext.A1. But if Ext.A1 is a subject matter of L.A.A. 21 OF 2009 -2- appeal necessarily it will not have a binding effect but considering the nature and extent involved and without making this as a binding precedent to be followed in other cases, I do not want to interfere with the decision rendered by the Land Acquisition Court. Therefore the appeal fails and the same is dismissed. M.N. KRISHNAN, JUDGE. ul/-
