No. 182/1995 on the file of the Sub court, Kozhikode. C.M.Application No.886/2007 is filed to condone the delay of 628 days in filing the above appeal. On merits it is seen that the acquisition is for the purpose of 110 KV Substation at Kunnamangalam. The reference court has fixed the land value at the rate of Rs. 4,500/- per Cent. It is seen that in the connected matter i.e in L.A.A. 779/2000 this Court has fixed the land value at the rate of Rs. 5,000/- per Cent, thus nothing survives on merits in this appeal. So the appeal and the application for condonation of delay are dismissed. I.A. 1960/2007 is also dismissed KURIAN JOSEPH, JUDGE HARUN-UL-RASHID, JUDGE es
