Delay is condoned since we are in a position to decide the appeal immediately in favour of the respondent. 2. This appeal by requisitioning authority pertains to acquisition of land in Thrikkunnapuzha Village. On going through the judgment in LAA.No.796/2007 we find that the enhancement granted under the impugned judgment is only to be approved. Hence this appeal is dismissed. No costs. However we make it clear that in case the respondent prefers appeal it will be open to the appellant to resist that appeal on the basis of the various grounds raised in this appeal. PIUS C.KURIAKOSE, JUDGE. C.K.ABDUL REHIM, JUDGE. okb
