Nos.585, 627, 637 & 668 of 2006 ------------------------------------------------ Dated this the 10th day of February, 2010 JUDGMENT Pius C. Kuriakose, J These appeals coming up for admission are directed against the common judgment of the Subordinate Judge's Court, Irinjalakuda in L.A.R Nos.22/01, 23/01, 24/01 and 25/01. We have today by a detailed judgment dismissed L.A.A Nos.282/04, 283/04, 146/06 and 1101/08 preferred by the claimants against the same judgments. We have found under our judgment that it is the correct market value of the property that has been arrived at by the learned Subordinate Judge. Under that judgment, we have L. A. A. Nos.585, 627, 637 & 668 of 2006 -2- approved the action of the learned Subordinate Judge in having adopted the method of arriving at the value of wetlands by deducting the reclamation charges from the value of the corresponding dry lands. In view of that decision, we are not inclined to entertain these appeals any longer. The appeals are not entertained and are dismissed in limine. The Registry is directed to refund the 1/3rd court fee remitted on the appeal memoranda to the appellant/Panchayat or the counsel. PIUS C. KURIAKOSE JUDGE C. K. ABDUL REHIM JUDGE kns/-
