BALAKRISHNAN, JJ. ------------------------------------------------ L. A. A. No.179 of 2011 ------------------------------------------------ Dated this the 28th day of February, 2011 JUDGMENT Pius C. Kuriakose, J This appeal by the Government pertains to acquisition of land in Thrikkodithanam village for the purpose of construction of Electricity Sub Station in the transmission Division, Poovanthuruth, Kottayam. Several attractive grounds are raised in this appeal and Smt.Latha T. Thankappan, the learned Senior Government Pleader addressed arguments on the basis of those grounds. However, having carefully gone through the impugned judgment and having taken into account the locational importance of the acquired property which is situated in a very important area of Thrikkodithanam village, a village very close to Changanacherry municipal town, we feel that L. A. A. No.179 of 2011 -2- the rate fixed under the impugned judgment is not excessive. Hence, we are not inclined to entertain this appeal. The appeal is dismissed in limine. PIUS C.
