We are not inclined to entertain this appeal preferred by the requisitioning authority, Inland Waterways Authority of India in respect of acquisition of land in Alappad village in Alappuzha District. We notice that under the impugned judgment, the land value has been refixed by giving enhancement of 60% over what was awarded by the Land Acquisition Officer. We find that in L.A.A. No.111/2009 preferred by the appellant itself this court has approved the enhancement at the same rate. We dismiss this appeal. However, we make it clear that in case the respondent/claimant come up in appeal, it will be open to the appellant to resist that appeal on all available grounds including the grounds raised in this appeal.
