Pleader addressed us extensively we are not inclined to entertain this appeal. The acquisition was of property included in category 11 for which the L.A. Officer awarded land value at the rate of Rs.1,14,833/- per Are. The reference court enhanced the same to Rs.2 lakhs per Are. We notice that for the same acquisition this Court has approved the enhancement of land value granted by the reference court from Rs.1,09,365/- to Rs.2 lakhs per Are by judgment in LAA. No.607 of 2008. Following the reasons stated in that judgment we are of the view that the enhancement granted in this case cannot be said to be excessive. Appeal is dismissed. No costs.
