The Land Acquisition Officer had granted land value at the rate of Rs.10733/- per are which was enhanced by the reference court to Rs.19988/- per are relying mainly on Ext.A2 (b), judgment of the same court in LAR No.136/02. Having considered the judgment and having heard the submissions of the learned Government Pleader, I found that the reliance placed by the court below on Ext.A2(b) judgment was justified. Registry was asked to verify whether any appeal has been filed against Ext.A2(b). Registry reports that requisition authority preferred an appeal, LAA No.577/06. That appeal was dismissed by this court on 13.3.2007 confirming Ext.A2(b). In view of the finality attained by Ext.A2(b), there is no warrant for interfering with the judgment under appeal. The appeal will stand dismissed in limine. srd PIUS C.KURIAKOSE, JUDGE W.P.C.No. - 2 -
