Delay is condoned since we are in a position to decide the appeal immediately in favour of the respondent. 2. On going through the judgment in LAA.111/2009, it is seen that the same pertains to acquisition of land for the same purpose in the same village. We are not inclined to entertain this appeal any longer. Hence the appeal is dismissed. No costs. However, it is made clear that in case the respondent prefers any appeal, the appellant is free to resist that appeal on all grounds including the grounds in this appeal. PIUS C.KURIAKOSE, JUDGE. C.K.ABDUL REHIM, JUDGE. okb
