These appeals are preferred by the Inland Waterways Authority of India. The properties were in Chavara village of Kollam district. Under the impugned judgment, the reference court has granted enhancement by 60% of the rate granted by the Land Acquisition Officer. If is fairly conceded by the learned standing counsel for the appellant that this Court has already approved enhancement at that rate in other cases pertaining to acquisition of land in Chavara village. Under these circumstances, both these appeals will stand dismissed. However, we make it clear that this judgment will not cause any prejudice to the appellant in any appeal, which may be preferred by the claimant against the impugned judgment. If any such appeal is filed, it will be open to the appellant to resist that appeal on all available grounds, including the grounds raised in these appeals. (PIUS C. KURIAKOSE, JUDGE) (K.SURENDRA MOHAN, JUDGE) aks
