preferred these appeals.

The aforesaid O.Ps. were disposed of along with batch of cases in O.P.No.6 of 1998 & batch, by common order, dated 30.07.2003, whereby the reference Court answered the references by fixing the market value of the acquired lands at Rs.125/- per sq. yard.

¶7

Today when the matters are taken up for hearing, it is submitted that the subject matter of these appeals is squarely covered by an earlier judgment rendered by a Division Bench of this Court in A.S.No.1235 of 2003 & batch, dated 27.04.2007. A copy of the said judgment is placed on record.

¶8

From a perusal of the judgment dated 27.04.2007, it is evident that against some of the cases in connected O.P.No.6 of 1998 & batch, the State as well as some claimants have filed the appeals and cross-objections, and this Court, while dismissing the appeals filed by the State, fixed the market value of the acquired lands at Rs.160/- per sq. yard.

¶9

Therefore, as the subject matter of these appeals is squarely covered by earlier judgment dated 27.04.2007 in AS.No.1235 of 2003 & batch, these appeals are dismissed following the said judgment and for the reasons recorded therein. There shall be no order as to costs.
