Pius C. Kuriakose, J.
Inland Waterways Authority of India, the requisitioning
authority, is in appeal. The properties were situated in Alappad village
of Kollam district. Having gone through the impugned judgment, we
notice that the enhancement granted by the reference court is only 60%
over what was awarded by the Land Acquisition Officer. Having regard
to the evidence on record, we feel that such enhancement is justified.
Therefore, we are not inclined to entertain this appeal. The appeal will
stand dismissed. We make it clear that in case the respondents come
in appeal against the impugned judgment, the appellant will have the
liberty to resist that appeal on all available grounds, including the
grounds raised in this appeal.
