JUDGMENT

P.G. Ajithkumar, J.

This appeal under Section 54 of the Land Acquisition Act,

1984 is directed against the judgment and decree dated

22.06.2016 in L.A.R.No.241 of 2011 before the Sub Court,

Thalassery.

2. 0.8099 hectares of land belonging to the claimants

was acquired for the purpose of establishing Kannur Airport.

Dissatisfied with the compensation awarded by the Land

appeal challenging the said judgment and decree.

condoned as per the order dated 15.12.2022 in

C.M.Appl.No.366 of 2017.

learned counsel.

L.A.A.No.258 of 2017

5. Today, when this matter is taken up for

consideration, the learned Senior Government Pleader

appearing for the appellant would submit that in the appeals

filed by the State in relation to the acquisition of land under

the same notification were decided by this Court against the

State.

6. The learned Senior Government Pleader produced

for our perusal the judgment dated 22.01.2018 in L.A.A.No.11

of 2013 and connected appeals. The learned Senior
