VINOD RAVINDRANATH FOR R1 THIS LAND ACQUISITION APPEAL HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 23/06/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: V. RAMKUMAR , J. ========================== L.A.A.No. 25 of 2007 ========================== Dated this the 23rd day of June, 2009. JUDGMENT An extent of 0.05 Ares of land comprised in survey No. 413/114-142 of Angamaly village in Alwaye Taluk along with other parcels of land was compulsorily acquired by the State for the widening of National High Way-47 from Alwaye to Angamaly. The notification under Section 4(1) of the Land Acquisition Act was published on 27.07.2000. The award was passed on 27.08.2001. The land was taken possession of on 21.07.2001. The Land Acquisition Officer fixed the land value at Rs.2,41,954/- per Are. On a reference at the instance of the claimant, the court below fixed the land value at Rs.4,23,420/- per Are by relying on Ext.A1 judgment dated 30.09.2003 passed by that court in L.A.R. No. 149 of 2001 and connected cases concerning lands acquired for the very same purpose. In as much as the State has not filed any appeal against Ext.A1 common judgment in L.A.R. No. 149 of 2001 and connected cases, the basis for the present award passed by the court below stands confirmed. I, therefore, do not L.A.A.No. 25/2007 : 2 : find any good ground for interference with the enhancement given by the court below. This appeal is, accordingly, dismissed in limine. Dated this the 23rd day of June, 2009. V. RAMKUMAR, JUDGE. rv
