NO. 441 OF 2003 ====================== Dated this the 8th day of March, 2007 J U D G M E N T P.R.Raman, J. A small extent of land of 1.80 Ares of land comprised in Sy.No.96/16 of Ayyampuzha Village was acquired for the purpose of Edamalayar Irrigation Project as per 4(1) notification dated 9.5.1994 and possession was taken on 17.10.95. Land Acquisition Officer fixed the land value at the rate of Rs.4400/- per are as per award dated 2.7.97. Claiming further enhancement, the claimant sought reference under Section 18. The Reference Court enhanced the land value at the rate of Rs.1,980/- per are. It is against the said award, the present appeal is filed. We find that the Land Acquisition Court had disposed the matter along with another case in LA 571/98 against which no appeal has been preferred. Further considering the meagre L.A.A.441/03 : 2 : amount granted by enhancement and the small extent of land involved in this case, we do not find it is a fit case for interference in appeal. Dismissed. P.R.RAMAN, JUDGE. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE. Rp
