Kuriakose, J Even though several attractive grounds have been raised by the Government in this appeal and Smt.Latha T. Thankappan, the learned senior Government Pleader addressed arguments based on those grounds, we are not persuaded to entertain this appeal. The property was in Kuthiathodu village in Cherthala thaluk. The Land Acquisition Officer awarded land value at the rate of Rs.53,378/- per Are. The Reference Court under the impugned judgment granted 47% increase and re-fixed the value at Rs.78,284/- per L. A. A. No.939 of 2010 -2- Are. According to us, the market value re-fixed by the court is very reasonable and the Government cannot have any legitimate grievance about the same. The appeal is dismissed in limine. PIUS C.
