JUDGMENT :

Sharad Kumar Sharma, J.

This bunch of First Appeals under Section 54 of the Land Acquisition Act, had been preferred by the respective appellants as against the impugned judgment allowing of an Application under Order 7 Rule 11 of CPC, as preferred by the respondents, consequent to which the references as made under Section 18 of the Land Acquisition Act by the Collector at the behest of the appellant has been rejected. In all these First Appeals, it’s almost a similar question, which is involved consideration; hence, they are being decided together for the purpose of brevity.

2. As far as First Appeal No. 35 of 2018 is concerned, though it too engages similar question but since there is pending substitution application being IA No. 15698/2018, seeking substitution of the heirs of the deceased appellant, who is said to have met with the sad demise on 14.08.2018. Since the said Application has been preferred well within time and remained unopposed, the same would stand allowed, the learned counsel for the appellant of this Appeal is permitted to carry out the necessary amendment and bring on record the heirs, as described in para 4 of the said Substitution Application.
