ture Not Verified<br>lly signed by<br>NDRA PRASAD<br>2018.08.25<br>:21 IST<br>on:Leave granted.
2. The appellants are before this Court, aggrieved<br>by the judgment dated 26.08.2016 passed in RFA<br>Nos.3469-3472/2016 by the High Court of Punjab and<br>Haryana at Chandigarh.
3. The issue pertains to the fixation of land value<br>in respect of the land acquired from the respondents.<br>We find that the relied on judgment has been set<br>aside and has been remanded to the High Court by this<br>Court by order dated 11.01.2017 passed in C.A.<br>Nos.1949-1966/2016 and connected matters.
4. In that view of the matter, we do not think it<br>necessary to await service of notice to the<br>respondents and then pass the order. Instead,<br>safeguarding the interest of the respondents, we feel<br>it appropriate to set aside the impugned judgments<br>and remit the matters to the High Court, to be taken<br>up along with all connected matters. Ordered<br>accordingly.
5. We direct the appellants to serve a copy of this<br>judgment along with a copy of the petition(s) to the<br>respondents, within four weeks.
6. The appeals are, accordingly, disposed of.
