We are not inclined to admit this appeal, which pertains to the acquisition of land in Kanakkary village in Kottayam District for the purpose of MVIP pursuant to a notification under Section 4 (1) published on 25/2/1999. The land acquisition officer's award was at the rate of Rs.16,580/-. Reference court in this case and connected cases, relying on Ext.A1 judgment, would refix the land value at Rs.26,528/- per Are. Thus giving increase by 60% over what had been granted by the land acquisition officer. Having gone through the judgment of the reference court and in view of the finality attained by Ext.A1, we do not find any warrant for interfering with the judgment impugned in this appeal. The appeal will stand dismissed in limine. PIUS.C.KURIAKOSE,JUDGE M.C.HARI RANI, JUDGE dpk
