THIS LAND ACQUISITION APPEAL HAVING BEEN FINALLY HEARD ON 10/03/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: KURIAN JOSEPH & HARUN-UL-RASHID, JJ. ---------------------------------------------- L.A.A.No.431 OF 2008 & C.M.Appln.No.434 OF 2008 ---------------------------------------------- Dated this the 10th day of March, 2008. J U D G M E N T Kurian Joseph, J. C.M.Appln.No.434/2008: This is an application to condone the delay of 146 days in filing the appeal. On merits it is seen that the appeal is filed against the judgment and decree in L.A.R.No.49/2005 on the file of the Sub Court, Ernakulam. Acquisition is for the purpose of National Highway bye-pass in Edapally village. The enhancement is only 30%. It is not in dispute that in several cases such enhancement has been sustained by this Court. That apart it is seen that the enhancement is given based on the evidence tendered by the claimants. Therefore, the application for condonation of delay and the appeal are dismissed. I.A.No.923/2008: Dismissed. KURIAN JOSEPH, JUDGE. HARUN-UL-RASHID, JUDGE. smp
