On going through the judgment, it certainly appears that the enhancement granted by the reference court was exorbitant. But, I find that in the present appeal the total stakes involved is only Rs.4041/-. In view of the smallness of the stakes involved, this appeal need not be entertained any more. Appeal will stand rejected. However, it is made clear that this judgment will not quoted as a precedent for any other case. The appeal is rejected on the reason that the stakes involved is small and that service could not been completed despite several endeavors. (PIUS.C.KURIAKOSE,JUDGE) dpk
