Some of the grounds raised in this appeal are attractive and it was very persuasive submissions which were addressed before us by the learned Government Pleader. 2. On going through the impugned judgment, we find that the rate of enhancement granted by the learned Sub Judge is only 28% over and above what was granted by the Land Acquisition Officer. We are of the view that on the basis of the evidence on record there was justification for such enhancement. According to us, the Government cannot have any legitimate grievance regarding the impugned judgment, which is not liable to be interfered at the instance of the Government. Hence the appeal is dismissed. PIUS C.KURIAKOSE,JUDGE C.K.ABDUL REHIM , JUDGE dpk
