We do not find any ground to admit this appeal, which pertains to acquisition of land in Petta Village for the purpose of expansion of International Airport, Thiruvananthapuram. Relevant Section 4 (1) notification was published on 4/2/1999 and the land acquisition officer awarded land value at the rate of Rs.1,31,616/- per Are. The reference court on the basis of the evidence refixed the same at Rs.2,25,000/- per Are. The Judgment in L.A.A.No.1081/2008 is brought to our notice both by the learned counsel for the appellant and also the learned Government Pleader. It is seen from that judgment that this court has approved such enhancement for identical properties. In view of the judgment in L.A.A. No.1081/2008 this appeal will stand dismissed.
