                  23.02.2017, 04.05.2017 and 11.05.2018, the State Government has 
                  taken a policy decision not to challenge the award passed by the
                  Reference Court, where the enhancement is less than four times over the

                  Resolution will be applicable to the instant first appeals.     
                  5.       In the instant first appeals, the enhancement is less than four
                  times and the compensation being meager, all the first appeals stand
                  dismissed.
