MR.S.MOHANAN THIS LAND ACQUISITION APPEAL HAVING BEEN FINALLY HEARD ON 10/02/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: tss M.N. KRISHNAN, J. ........................................... L.A.A.No.1669 OF 2007 ............................................. Dated this the 10th day of February, 2010. J U D G M E N T This appeal is preferred against the award of the Land Acquisition Court, Mavelikkara in LAR.No.462/1994. An extent of 0.20 Ares of dry land in Sy.No.168/16 in Haripad village was acquired and compensation was granted valuing the land at the rate of Rs.9,606/= per Are. The land acquisition court on reference fixed the land value at Rs.31,122/= per Are. The land acquisition court for the said purpose had relied upon the decision of the land acquisition court in LAR 353/1993. Against the said decision an appeal was preferred as LAA.1555/2000 and a Division Bench of this Court had confirmed the said award as per its judgment dated 25.5.2005. So the relied on judgment has become final and the court was satisfied that on the basis of Ext.A1 judgment and A2 sale deed, the land value in the present case can be fixed at the same rate awarded by the court in Ext.A2 judgment which also happens to be approximately 70% of the land value in Ext.A2 sale deed. : 2 : L.A.A.No.1669 OF 2007 Therefore in the light of the said discussion and finding on fact, the relied on judgment has become final. The present award passed by the land acquisition court does not call for any interference. Therefore the appeal fails and the same is dismissed. M.N. KRISHNAN, JUDGE cl : 3 : L.A.A.No.1669 OF 2007
