The appellants in Appeal 190/2015 are the 2 and 3 opposite parties in C.C.

Therefore, a joint trial was conducted and thereafter, the District Commission disposed of both the cases by a common order. Since the evidence is common, we are inclined to dispose of these appeals by this common judgment.
