We notice from the impugned judgment that the enhancement granted by the reference court is only 60% over what was awarded by the Land Acquisition Officer. The property under acquisition was in Chavara village of Kollam district. We notice our own judgment approving enhancement at that rate. We dismiss the appeal making it clear that in case the respondents prefer an appeal, it will be open to the appellant to defend that appeal on all available grounds, including the grounds raised in this appeal.
