But it is seen that the appeal pertains to enhancement of land value awarded by the officer at the rate of Rs. 7761/- per cent to Rs.17,500/- per cent in an acquisition case pertaining to acquisition for Thalassery-Mahe bye-pass pursuant to notification under Section 4(1) dated 13/07/2000. It is brought to my notice that enhancement at the above rate in similar cases covered by the very same notification has been approved by this court in other cases. The appeal will stand dismissed inlimine. PIUS.C.KURIAKOSE JUDGE sv.
