HALKEY Vs. STATE

JUDGEMENT

(1.) THESE are forty four (44) references made by the learned Additional Commissioner, Jhansi by his order dated 20-3-1997 recommend­ing that the revisions filed by Halkey and others be allowed, the order of the trial Court passed on different dates be set aside and the cases be remanded back to it for fresh decision on merits according to law after affording the parties an oppor­tunity of adducing evidence and of being heard.

(2.) I have heard the learned counsel for the parties and perused the record.

(3.) AFTER having considered the matter carefully. I am inclined to agree with the view expressed by the learned Additional' Commissioner and find that the recom­mendation made by him is fair and reasonable. Agreeing with the recommen­dation of the learned Additional Commis­sioner. I accept the references, allow the revisions set aside the orders of the trial Court and remand the cases to it for fresh decision in the light of the observations made by the learned Additional Commis­sioner. This order will govern reference No. 90 to 133 of 1997-98/district Hamirpur. Reference accepted
