The learned Advocate for the appellants and the learned AGP for the State submit that in view of the policy decision of the State Government as per the Government Resolution dated 03.11.2016 and the corrigendum dated 23.02.2017 issued thereto, the State Government has resolved not to file or contest any appeal where the amount of compensation awarded by the Reference Court is within four times of the amount awarded by the S.L.A.O. They submit that the present first appeals deserve to be disposed of in view of the aforesaid policy decision of the State Government, as the amount of compensation awarded by the Reference Court is within four times of the amount awarded by the S.L.A.O. 3. The learned Advocate for the appellant/acquiring body pointed out the operative part of the impugned judgments and submits that the learned Reference Court erred in awarding interest.

Considering the submissions of both sides as well as the policy decision of the State Government, the first appeals deserve to be disposed of. The First Appeals are disposed of accordingly. Pending civil applications, if any, are also disposed of.
