(2.) BOTH the writ appeals having been carried from the common judgment and order dated 16. 01. 2001 rendered by the learned Single Judge in Civil Rule No. 276 of 1995 and Civil Rule No. 278 of 1995 based on common question of law structured on exactly identical factual premises have been taken up for hearing analogously and are being disposed of by this common judgment.
