We are not inclined to admit this appeal which pertains to acquisition of land in Petta village for the purposes of International Airport, Thiruvananthapuram. The relevant Section 4(1) notification was published on 4-2-1999. The land acquisition officer awarded land value at the rate of Rs. 66,420/- per Are. The reference court on evaluating the evidence which consisted of the oral testimonies of the claimant as AW1 and that of the respondent as RW1 as well as Exts.R1 to R4 which were papers in the award file, would refix the land value at Rs. 75,000/- per Are. On going through the judgment, it is seen that it is by guess work that this market value has been arrived at. However, we feel that having regard to lie and location of the property, it is more or less a correct guess which has been done by the learned Subordinate Judge. The appeal will stand dismissed.
