JUDGMENT
This appeal by the Government is directed against the
judgment and decree of the Sub Court, Kozhikode in LAR No.530 of
1999. The impugned judgment was not a judgment in isolation, it was
a common judgment in 14 reference cases. Learned Government
Pleader fairly concedes that the Government preferred appeals only in
the present case which corresponds to LAR No.530/99 and against
the judgment in LAR No.434/2000. The appeal which was preferred
against LAR No.434/2000 was registered by this court as LAA
No.599/05. It is conceded that L.A.A.No.599/05 was dismissed by
this court approving the enhancement which was granted by the
reference court relying on Ext.A1 judgment in another case. In view
of the finality attained to the judgments in all other 13 cases, i.e., by
the dismissal of LAA No.599/05 and by the non-filing of appeals in
relation to other 12 cases covered by the impugned common
judgment, the Government cannot aspire for a favourable
consideration of this appeal. The appeal will stand dismissed.
