These appeals along with MFA Crobs. coming on for Admission this day, S.R.Krishna Kumar J., delivered the following:

JUDGMENT

These appeals and cross objections arise out of the

impugned judgments and awards dated 18.12.2018

passed in LAC No.6/2017 and connected matters whereby

the Reference Court allowed the claim of the claimants in

part and re-determined/enhanced the compensation

payable in their favour in respect of the subject lands.

2. Before the Reference Court, the appellants

were arrayed as respondents, while the Cross Objectors

were the claimants in all the matters.

3. The appeals have been preferred by the

appellants questioning the quantum of compensation

awarded by the Reference Court while the claimants have

filed Cross Objections seeking enhancement of the

compensation awarded by the Reference Court.

4. In addition to reiterating the various

contentions urged in the appeal and referring to the

material on record, learned High Court Government

Pleader for the appellants submits that it is the specific

contention of the appellants that due to bona fide reasons,

unavoidable circumstances and sufficient cause, it was not

possible for the appellants to adduce oral and documentary

evidence in support of their defence and that the

appellants could not properly defend the proceedings

before the Reference Court. It is therefore contended on

behalf of the appellants that it is necessary that one more

opportunity is provided in favour of the appellants to

contest and defend the proceedings by setting aside the

impugned judgments and awards by remitting the matter

back to the Reference Court for reconsideration afresh in

accordance with law. It is submitted that the appellants

are ready to abide by the terms and conditions to be

imposed by this Court in this regard.

5. Per contra, learned counsel for the claimants -

Cross Objectors submits that the compensation awarded

by the Reference Court is meager and inadequate and that

the same deserves to be enhanced by this Court.

6. We have given our anxious consideration to

the rival submissions and perused the material on record.

7. Though several contentions have been urged

by both sides in support of their respective claims, having

regard to the specific assertion on the part of the

appellants that if one more opportunity is provided in

favour of the appellants to contest the matter by

permitting them to adduce oral and documentary evidence

by remitting the matter back to the Reference Court,

without expressing any opinion on the merits/demerits of

the rival contentions, we deem it just and appropriate to

adopt a justice oriented approach and give one more

opportunity to the appellants to contest the proceedings by

setting aside the impugned judgments and awards and

remitting the matter back to the Reference Court for

reconsideration afresh in accordance with law.

8. In the result, we pass the following:

ORDER

i. MFA Nos.200319/2021 200206/2020, 200207/2020 200208/2020, 200209/2020, 200211/2020, 200212/2020, 200404/2020, 200405/2020, 200406/2020, 200407/2020, 200408/2020, 200409/2020, 200496/2020, 200497/2020, 200498/2020, 200499/2020, 200500/2020, 200568/2020 are hereby allowed.

xii. Immediately upon deposit of such additional 25% amounts by the appellants before the Reference Court as stated supra, the respective claimants shall be entitled to withdraw the said amounts deposited by the appellants before the Reference Court.

xiii. In the event any amount deposited by the appellants in any of the appeals before this

Court has not been withdrawn by the claimants, the Registry is directed to transfer/transmit the same to the Reference Court so as to enable the claimants to withdraw the said amounts.

xiv. It is made clear that the withdrawal of the earlier amounts deposited by the appellants as well as the amounts to be deposited by the appellants henceforth shall be without prejudice to the rights and contentions of the parties and subject to the final outcome/result of the proceedings before the Reference Court.

xv. The entire Court Fee, if any, paid by the appellants and the cross objectors is directed to be refunded back to the appellants and the cross objectors.
