This appeal pertains to acquisition of land in Thanneermukkom village for the purpose of setting up of a water Terminal in National waterway No.III. Under the impugned judgment, we find that the enhancement granted by the Reference Court is only 65% over what was awarded by the Land Acquisition Officer. Having gone through the impugned judgment, we are of the view that the enhancement granted by the Reference Court cannot be described as excessive. At any rate the requisitioning authority or the Government cannot have any legitimate grievance regarding the enhancement. Hence, we are not inclined to entertain this appeal any longer. Accordingly, the appeal will stand dismissed. No costs. PIUS C.KURIAKOSE,JUDGE C.K.ABDUL REHIM , JUDGE dpk
