Surendra Mohan, J.
The State is in appeal against the judgment and decree in L.A.R. No. 151 of 2009 of the IInd Additional Sub Court, Thiruvananthapuram dated 16.3.2012. Adv. J. Harikumar appears for the respondent.
2. Heard. The counsel on both sides submit that similar appeals have been allowed by this Court, setting aside the judgment of the Reference Court and remanding the matter for fresh consideration. According to the counsel, this case is also similar and therefore, this appeal is also to be allowed for the very same reasons.
3. Having considered the submissions of the respective counsel, we are satisfied that it is necessary to remand this matter also, for fresh consideration of the IInd LAA.145/2014.
2Additional Sub Court, Thiruvananthapuram, for the reasons stated by this Court in the judgment dated 16.11.2015 in L.A.A. No. 53 of 2013.
In the above circumstances, the judgment and decree appealed against are set aside and the matter is remanded to the IInd Additional Sub Court, Thiruvananthapuram for fresh consideration and disposal. We further direct that the Reference Court shall consider the matter and finally dispose of the same within a period of four months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
