NO. 484 OF 2005 & C.M. APPLICATION NO.681 OF 2005 ---------------------------------------------------------------- Dated this the 18th day of January, 2008 JUDGMENT Kurian Joseph, J. C.M. Application No.681 of 2005 is an application to condone the delay of 554 days in filing the appeal. The appeal is filed against the judgment and decree in L.A.R. No.16 of 1995 on the file of the Additional Sub Court, Kollam. Acquisition is for the purpose of Indian Oil Corporation Limited. It is seen that the reference court relied on Ext.A3 document. On evidence, the reference court found that the acquired property is similar to the property covered by Ext.A3. Still further it was found that the acquired land is more potential than that of Ext.A3. The documented value of Ext.A3 has been fixed by the reference court as market value. Thus, there is no merit in the appeal. The application and the appeal are, therefore, dismissed. I.A. No.1344 of 2005 is also dismissed.
