But I find that it will be possible to finally decide the appeal even before the service is completed. 2. This appeal pertains to acquisition of land for the construction of Thalassery-Mahe bye-pass to NH 17 pursuant to a notification under Section 4(1) dated 13-07-2000. The awarding officer granted land value at the rate of Rs. 7761/- per cent which was enhanced by the court to Rs. 17,500/-. It is brought to my notice that a Division Bench of this court in a large number of cases including L.A.R. No. 766/2006 approved the enhancement granted by the reference court. This appeal accordingly will stand rejected. PIUS.C.KURIAKOSE JUDGE sv.
