This appeal is preferred by the requisitioning authority, the Inland Waterways Authority of India. The case pertains to acquisition of land in Panmana village of Kollam District. We find that the enhancement granted is only 60% over what was awarded by the Land Acquisition Officer. We notice the earlier judgments of this court approving the enhancement at that rate. We dismiss this appeal in limine. However, we make it clear that in case the respondents/claimants come up in appeal, the appellant will have the liberty to resist such appeal on all available grounds including the grounds raised in this appeal memorandum.
