Pius C. Kuriakose, J.
This is an appeal filed by the requisitioning authority.
The case pertains to acquisition of land in Neendakara village of
Kollam district. On going through the impugned judgment, it is
seen that the rate of enhancement is 60% over what was awarded
by the Land Acquisition Officer. Having gone through the
impugned judgment, we are of the view that the enhancement
granted is not excessive. We dismiss the appeal but making it
clear that in case the claimant respondent prefers an appeal
against the impugned judgment, the appellant will be entitled to
resist that appeal on all available grounds including the grounds
raised in this appeal.
