Delay is condoned since we are in a position to decide the appeal in favour of the contesting claimant/ respondent. According to us, this appeal is a surplusage. Against the judgment which is impugned in this appeal, State preferred L.A.A.No.927/2009 and obviously the present appellant was also a party to that appeal. That appeal was dismissed by us by our judgment dt. 25.2.2010 finding that the enhancement granted under the impugned judgment is reasonable. In view of that judgment this appeal is dismissed as a surplusage. PIUS C.KURIAKOSE, JUDGE. C.K.ABDUL REHIM, JUDGE. okb
