           Dated this the 4th day of February, 2011

                            JUDGMENT

Pius C.Kuriakose, J.

Both these appeals are preferred by the requisitioning

authority – M/s. Inland Waterways Authority of India. The case

pertains to acquisition of land in Chavara and Panmana Villages

of Kollam District. Under the impugned awards, the enhancement

granted is just 60% over what was awarded by the Land

Acquisition Officer. As this Court has already approved

enhancement at the above rate, we are not inclined to entertain

these appeals.

Both these appeals will stand dismissed in limine.

However, we make it clear that in case the

claimants/respondents prefer appeals against the impugned

judgments, it will be open to the appellant to resist such appeals

on the basis of all the grounds including those raised in these

appeals.
