Appeal is filed against the enhanced compensation granted in L.A.R.18/2000. Acquisition was for N.T.P.C, Kayamkulam. Learned counsel appearing for 5th respondent, the requisition authority submitted that requisition authority is not challenging the award as the enhancement granted is less than 150% of the compensation awarded and in such circumstances, appeal may be closed. In view of the submission made by the requisition authority, I find no reason to condone the delay. The petition is dismissed. Consequently appeal is also dismissed. M.SASIDHARAN NAMBIAR, JUDGE. uj.
