These appeals by the requisitioning authority – Inland Waterways Authority of India pertain to the award of the Reference Court in a case of acquisition of properties in Chavara Village. We find from the impugned judgments that enhancement granted therein is only 60% over what was awarded by the Land Acquisition Officer. We notice earlier judgments of this court approving enhancement at the above rate in the same village. In view of those judgments, these appeals will stand dismissed in limine. However, we make it clear that in case the respondents/claimants come up in appeal claiming more enhancement, it will be open to the appellant to urge that grounds raised in these appeal memoranda against that appeal.
