NO. 150 OF 2004 ----------------------------------------- Dated this the 11th day of October, 2007. J U D G M E N T Kurian Joseph, J. This is an appeal filed against the judgment and decree in L.A.R. No. 298/1991 on the file of the Sub Court, North Paravur. Acquisition is for the purpose of Cochin Refineries. The extent involved is 8.80 Ares and the enhancement given is only nominal. 2. The Land Acquisition Officer fixed the land value at the rate of Rs. 1483/- per Are which was enhanced by Rs. 1481/- per Are. The total amount involved, according to the appellant, is only Rs. 13,033/-. We do not think it necessary to interfere in the matter in view of the paltry amount involved in the case. It will be too harsh to summon the respondents at this stage. Therefore, without considering the merits of the case, this appeal is dismissed.
