THIS LAND ACQUISITION APPEAL HAVING BEEN FINALLY HEARD ON 08/06/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: PIUS C. KURIAKOSE & C. K. ABDUL REHIM, JJ. ------------------------------------------------ L. A. A. No.504 of 2010 ------------------------------------------------ Dated this the 8th day of June, 2010 JUDGMENT Pius C. Kuriakose, J Even though several attractive grounds have been raised in the appeal and Smt.R.Bindu, the learned Government Pleader addressed strenuous arguments on these grounds, we do not find justification for entertaining this appeal. The property was in Elamkulam village. The relevant Section 4(1) notification was published on 09/06/03. The Land Acquisition Officer awarded land value at the rate of Rs.2,23,999/- per Are. The Reference Court enhanced the land value by 40% and re-fixed the same at Rs.3,13,598.60/- L. A. A. No.504 of 2010 -2- per Are. 2. Having scanned the impugned judgment, we feel that it is more or less the correct market value of the property at the relevant time that has been arrived at by the learned Subordinate Judge. The appeal is dismissed in limine. PIUS C. KURIAKOSE JUDGE C. K. ABDUL REHIM JUDGE kns/-
