Under challenge is the judgment of the reference court granting enhancement in the land value awarded by the Land Acquisition Officer by 60%. The property was in Thrikkunnapuzha village. We notice our own judgment in LAA.No.619/06, wherein we have approved enhancement at even higher rates. Under these circumstances, we dismiss this appeal but making it clear that in case the respondent comes in appeal, it will be open to the appellant to resist that appeal on all available grounds including the grounds raised in this appeal.
