THIS LAND ACQUISITION APPEAL HAVING BEEN FINALLY HEARD ON 24/07/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: PIUS C.KURIAKOSE & P.Q.BARKATH ALI, JJ. ------------------------ L.A.A.No.822 OF 2009 ------------------------ Dated this the 24th day of July, 2009 JUDGMENT Pius C.Kuriakose, J. We do not find any reason to entertain this appeal. The case was in respect of acquisition of properties in Mangad Village for the purpose of construction of NH Bye pass. Relevant Section 4(1) notification was published on 11/11/1992. The land acquisition officer awarded land value at the rate of Rs.10,020/- per Are. The reference court under the impugned judgment, refixed the same at the rate of Rs.24,700/- per Are relying on Ext.A1 judgment. It is noticed that this court in another case pertaining to the same acquisition, wherein the land acquisition officer has awarded Rs.11,112/- per Are, approved the enhancement by the reference court to Rs.24,700/-. We are of the view that following the reasons stated in that judgment, the judgment impugned can also be approved. Accordingly, the appeal will stand dismissed in limine.
