This appeal is filed against the judgment and decree in LAR No.89/1992 on the file of the Sub Court, Palakkad. The acquisition is for the purpose of Indian Telephone Industries, Kanjikode. In view of the judgment in LAA No.608 of 2000 and other connected cases, apparently the appellant is entitled for enhancement; but to what extent is the disputed question of fact since the same depends on the categorisation of the property. For that, we are of the view that the matter should go back to the Reference Court where the dispute in that regard can be settled. 2. Accordingly, we set aside the judgment and decree in LAR 89/1992 and remit the matter to the Sub Court, Palakkad. The Reference Court will dispose of the same within three months from today. The parties are free to adduce fresh evidence. They will appear before the Reference Court on 29.10.2007.
