  We present new observational constraints on Lorentz violating
Ho\v{r}ava-Lifshitz cosmological scenarios using an updated cosmological data
set from Cosmic Microwave Background (Planck CMB), expansion rates of
elliptical and lenticular galaxies, JLA compilation (Joint Light-Curve
Analysis) data for Type Ia supernovae (SneIa), Baryon Acoustic Oscillations
(BAO) and priors on the Hubble parameter with an alternative parametrisation of
the equations. Unlike in other approaches we consider the curvature parameter
$\Omega_k$ as a free parameter in the analysis we considered the parameters
$\Omega_k$ and $\Delta N_\nu$ as completely free, which helped to place new,
updated bounds on several of the theory parameters. Remarkably, the detailed
balance scenario exhibits positive spatial curvature to more than 3$\sigma$,
whereas for further theory generalizations we found evidence for positive
spatial curvature at 1$\sigma$. This could create circumstantial evidence from
observations and could be used to single out distinct formulations and
scenarios.
