Case Note & Summary
The case involved multiple first appeals concerning land acquisition matters, specifically First Appeal No. 2468 of 1994 and related appeals. The appeals were heard by the High Court of Gujarat, presided over by Justice Y.B. Bhatt. The court noted that the appeals were admitted and that the counsel for the respondents had waived service. The court also acknowledged that a related appeal, First Appeal No. 2469 of 1994, had already been disposed of on May 1, 1996. The court indicated that the reasoning in that judgment would apply to the current appeals. Ultimately, the court dismissed the appeals, stating that they lacked merit and discharged the notice in each case without any orders as to costs. The decree was made accordingly.
