PIUS C. KURIAKOSE,J. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - L.A.A.No.231 of 2008 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dated: 8th July, 2008 JUDGMENT I am not inclined to admit this appeal preferred by the Government against the award of the land acquisition reference court. The acquisition was pursuant to a notification under Section 4 (1) dated 6.7.1999 for the purposes of Kesavadasapuram- Mannanthala Reach of the four lane road in Kudappanakunnu village. As against the land value of Rs.1,40,605/- per are fixed by the land acquisition officer, the reference court would refix the land value at Rs.2,50,000/- per are. The evidence before the reference court consisted of mainly on Ext.A1 judgment in LAR No.4/01. Having gone through the judgment of the reference court, I am of the view that the learned Subordinate Judge was justified in placing reliance on Ext.A1 since Ext.A1 was for various reasons a relevant judgment. It is brought to my notice that Ext.A1 has attained finality in the sense that the appeal preferred by the Government against the same has been dismissed. It is also brought to my notice that against LAR No.152/2000, a judgment which was relied on in Ext.A1 also there LAA No.231/08 - 2 - was no appeal. For both the above reasons, the appeal will stand dismissed. srd PIUS C.KURIAKOSE, JUDGE
