We do not find any reason at all for admitting this appeal preferred by the government. The acquisition was for the purpose of Electronics Techno Park and was pursuant to a notification under Section 4(1) published on 5-4-1994. The land acquisition officer included this property in category 9 and awarded land value at the rate of Rs. 12644/- per Are. 2. The evidence before the land acquisition court consisted of Ext.A1 sale deed and the testimony of AW1 apart from Exts.R1 to R3 which were papers in the award file. The reference court would grant nominal increase of 30% over the land value awarded by the land acquisition officer drawing inferences from Ext.A1 as well as AW1's testimony. It is noticed by us that in certain appeals preferred by the claimants, we have enhanced the rate granted by the land acquisition court for properties in category 9. Under the above circumstances, there is no warrant at all for interfering with the impugned judgment. The appeal will stand dismissed. PIUS.C.KURIAKOSE, JUDGE P.Q.BARKATH ALI, JUDGE sv.
