These appeals are at the instance of the acquisitioning authority. The acquisition is for the purpose of Kannur Airport. In the nature of the view we propose to take to remand these appeals, it is not necessary to refer to the various contentions taken by the parties, since in any case the parties will get sufficient opportunity before the Reference Court. The reason for remand is that there is no proper fixation of market value. In fixing the land value whether the Reference Court intended it as the market L.A.A. NO.892 OF 2005 AND CONNECTED CASES :: 2 :: value is not clear. Similarly, whether the value of improvements as noted in the judgment has been taken note of for the purpose of fixing the market value is also not clear. Therefore, we set aside the judgment and decree in all these cases and remit the cases to the Reference Court. 2. Learned counsel for the claimants submit that on an earlier occasion, this Court had remanded certain cases by judgment in L.A.A.No.556 of 2005 and on such remand, market value has been fixed at Rs.5,000/- per cent. It is for the parties to bring the same to the notice of the Reference Court in which case, the court below will look into that judgment also along with other evidence. The Reference Court will dispose of the matters within a period of six months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. The amount already remitted before Reference Court and disbursed to the claimants will be duly adjusted in the process. L.A.A. NO.892 OF 2005 AND CONNECTED CASES :: 3 :: Parties will appear before the Reference Court on 3.4.2007. (KURIAN JOSEPH) Judge (K.T.SANKARAN) Judge ahz/
