These appeals by the requisitioning authority-M/s.Inland Waterways Authority of India, pertain to acquisition of land in Chavara and Panmana Villages of Kollam District. We notice that enhancement granted under the impugned common judgment is just 60% over what was awarded by the Land Acquisition Officer. As this Court has already approved enhancement at the above rate, we are not inclined to entertain these appeals. The appeals will stand dismissed in limine. However, we make it clear that in case the claimants/respondents prefer appeals against the impugned judgment, it will be open to the appellant to resist such appeals on the basis of all the grounds including those raised in these appeals.
