We notice that the percentage of enhancement granted under the impugned judgment is 59.3% only. In fact in many other cases this Court has approved enhancement by higher percentages. At any rate, there is no justification for interference. The L. A. A. No.880 of 2010 -2- appeal is dismissed. PIUS C. KURIAKOSE JUDGE M. L. JOSEPH FRANCIS JUDGE kns/-
