The Land Acquisition Officer awarded land value at the rate of Rs.10,950/- per Are. The reference court, relying on the evidence which consisted of the oral testimony of Aws1 to 5 and Exts.A1 to A6 on the side of the claimants and the testimony of RW1 and Exts.R1 to R7 on the side of the respondents apart from Ext.X1 and X2, enhanced the land value to Rs.19,760/- per Are. The learned counsel for the appellant fairly submitted before us that enhancement at the rate granted by the reference court in identical cases was confirmed not only by this court but also by the Supreme Court. In view of the above submission, we do not find any ground L.A.A..No.2398/2008 2 to admit this appeal. The appeal will stand dismissed in limine. PIUS.C.KURIAKOSE,JUDGE HARUN-UL-RASHID, JUDGE dpk
