This is an appeal by the then Thrissur Municipality presently the Corporation of Thrissur. The acquisition was for the purpose of construction of Bell Mouth and Shopping Centre and Lodge at East Fort Junction. Relevant section 4(1) notification was published on 22/7/1975. The Land Acquisition Officer awarded land value at the rate of Rs.8750/- per Are. Under the impugned judgment the reference court refixed the land value at Rs.17,872/- per Are. 2. Even though Sri.K.B.Mohandas, the learned standing counsel would address strenuous submissions before us, we are not inclined to interfere with the impugned judgment. It is brought to our notice that by judgment in L.A.A. Nos. 1055/2000 & 1099/2000, this court and even the Supreme Court has approved the refixation of land value for the same purpose in the same village at Rs.22,000/- per Are. LAA.No.884/2000 2 Under this circumstances, this appeal will stand dismissed without any order as to costs.
