The appeal pertains to re fixation of land value by the reference court at the rate of Rupees Two Lakhs per Are in stead of the value of Rs.98,681/- awarded by the officer. The acquisition was pursuant to a notification under Section 4 (1) published on 15/5/2003 and was for the purpose of construction of a four lane road from Ulloor junction to Kuzhivila bye pass within the limits of the Thiruvananthapuram Corporation. I notice that similar judgments pertaining to the very same acquisition pursuant to the very same Section 4 (1) and for the very same purpose wherein the same rate of enhancement was granted by the reference court for exactly similar properties have been confirmed by this court. L.A.A..No.2049/2008 2 Under the above circumstances, there is no warrant for interfering with the judgment under appeal. The appeal will stand dismissed in limine. (PIUS.C.KURIAKOSE,JUDGE) dpk
