We are not inclined to admit this appeal which pertains to acquisition of land in Kowdiar Village for the purpose of widening of National Highway from Kesavadasapuram to P.M.G. Reach II pursuant to section 4(1) notification published on 28-4-1999. The land acquisition officer awarded land value at the rate of Rs.3,18,416/- per Are which under the impugned judgment enhanced to Rs.6,10,493/-. It is fairly conceded by the learned Govt. Pleader that the enhancement at the same rate granted by the learned Sub Judge in cases pertaining to identical properties has been approved by this Court. The appeal will stand dismissed in limine.
