RFA No. 131 of 2003 22.03.2010 Present: Mr. Anil Jaswal, Deputy Advocate General for the appellants. Mr. Naveen K. Bhardwaj, Advocate for the respondent. The present appeal, which was admitted for hearing vide order dated 17.7.2003, arises out of the common award dated 1.11.2001, passed by the learned District Judge, Kullu, in Reference Petition No. 45 of 2000, titled Keshav Ram Vs. Collector, Land Acquisition, Kullu and another and other connected land references, out of which the one at serial No. 30, being Reference Petition No. 74 of 2000, titled Beli Ram Vs. Collector, Land Acquisition, Kullu is under challenge herein. The appeal was heard in part on 19.3.2010 and is listed for today for further arguments. However, it was pointed out during the course of arguments that the connected appeals being RFA Nos. 10 of 2003 to 45 of 2003 arising out of the aforesaid common award dated 1.11.2001 were disposed of in limine by orders of this court passed from time to time. It was in such circumstances, the records of all these appeals (RFA Nos. 10 of 2003 to 45 of 2003) were called to ascertain the factual position in this regard. A perusal thereof would go to show that all these appeals were summarily dismissed for the reason that the amount awarded by the court below was found to be meagre. However, it was clarified that such orders would not be cited as a precedent for other cases arising from the same notification as well as award passed by the court below. I have gone through the records of the appeal in hand with the valuable assistance rendered by the learned Deputy Advocate General appearing on behalf of the appellant and the learned counsel for the respondent and it is revealed that in this case as well the amount :-2-: awarded by the learned court below is meagre. It being so, the present appeal is also covered under the aforesaid orders passed by this court dismissing the aforesaid appeal in limine, on all fours. In view of what has been said hereinabove, the present appeal is also liable to be dismissed. Ordered accordingly. However, there shall be no order as to costs. (V.K. Sharma) Judge 22nd March, 2010 (Virender)
