These are appeals filed by the requisitioning authority, namely Sree Sankaracharya University of Sanskrit, Kalady. In the nature of the order we propose to pass, it is not necessary to extensively refer to the factual background. It is brought to our notice that the relied on judgment L.A.R. No. 521/1998 has already been remanded to the reference court for fresh consideration by judgment in L.A.A. No. 1065/2003. 2. For parity of reasons, we set aside the judgment and decree under appeal in all these cases and remit the cases to the reference court for fresh consideration. We make it clear that it will be open to the parties to adduce fresh evidence. In view of the remand as above, appellants shall be entitled to refund of court fee.
