PIUS C. KURIAKOSE,J. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - L.A.A.No.812 of 2008 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dated: 14th July, 2008 JUDGMENT This appeal by the Government pertains to acquisition of 0.0035 hectares of land in R.S.No.49/11 of Thiruvangad Village for the purposes of Thalassery-Mahe bye-pass pursuant to a notification under Section 4(1) dated 13.7.2000. The land acquisition officer awarded land value at the rate of Rs.19,16,935/- per hectare which was enhanced by the reference court relying on the evidence which came before it to Rs.17,500/- per cent. The principal item of evidence relied on by the reference court was Ext.A4 judgment in LAR No.186/02. It is brought to my notice that this court has already dismissed appeals against the reference court's awards relating to the very same acquisition granting enhancement at the same rate for similar properties. In my opinion no useful purpose will be served by admitting this appeal. The appeal therefore will stand dismissed in limine. srd PIUS C.KURIAKOSE, JUDGE
