THIS LAND ACQUISITION APPEAL HAVING BEEN FINALLY HEARD ON 14/11/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: KURIAN JOSEPH & K.T.SANKARAN, JJ. ---------------------------------------------- L.A.A. No.2102 of 2008 ---------------------------------------------- Dated 14th November, 2008. J U D G M E N T Kurian Joseph, J. C.M.Application No.2137/08 : This is an application for condonation of delay. The appeal is filed by the State aggrieved by the fixation of land value by the reference court, Sub Court, Attingal. The acquisition is for the purpose of doubling the railway line between Kollam and Thiruvananthapuram. It is seen that the reference court has granted only the same value as that of the basic document. In fact, the Land Acquisition Officer deducted 10% on the ground that the acquired property did not have road access. That has been factually found to be incorrect and hence the same land value covered by the basic document was given. The total enhancement comes to less than Rs.13,000/- only. In the above circumstances, we do not find any merit in the appeal. It is accordingly dismissed. I.A.No. 4685/08 : Dismissed. KURIAN JOSEPH, JUDGE.
