THIS LAND ACQUISITION APPEAL HAVING BEEN FINALLY HEARD ON 01/12/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: M.N.KRISHNAN, J. ------------------------------------------ L.A.A.No. 128 OF 2008 ------------------------------------------ Dated this the 1st day of December, 2009 JUDGMENT This appeal is preferred against the award of the Land Acquisition Court Manjeri in L.A.R.76/2000. This case was tried along with L.A.R.67/2000, L.A.R.78/2000 and L.A.79/2000 of the same Court and lands had been acquired under the same notification and they are similar and similarly situated. The acquired extent of land in this case is 0.0043 hectares of land. The land acquisition Court after consideration of the materials held that in all cases the claimants are entitled to get an enhanced land value at the rate of 10,079.78 per cent. Against the award in L.A.R.75/2000 and L.A.R.67/2000, L.A.A.226/2007 and L.A.A.173/2007 were filed before this Court. A Division Bench of this Court considered the matter and held that there is nothing to interfere in the light of the decisions taken in some other connected matters and L.A.R.67/2000 also. The learned Judge of this Court found that it is only appropriate and therefore, it does not call for any interference. Therefore, in the light of the disposal of two connected cases by this Court confirming the award and also considering the fact, the lands are similar and similarly situated and acquired for the very same purpose under the same notification, the award passed by the trial Court does not call for any interference. Therefore the appeal lacks merits and dismissed. M.N.KRISHNAN, JUDGE SS
