These are all appeals preferred by the State against the judgments and decrees of the reference court enhancing the compensation. But, it is seen that the Requisitioning authority has preferred appeals against the same judgment and decree of the reference court. In view of the pendency of the appeals preferred by the requisitioning authority, it is not necessary that the appeals preferred by the State are any longer entertained, since there will be a duplication. Therefore, appeals preferred by the State are dismissed. But, it is made clear that the merits of the grounds raised in the appeal memoranda filed by the Government will be examined in the appeals preferred by the Requisitioning authority.
