KURIAN, J.
1.    Leave granted.
2.    In the nature of the order we propose to pass, it is not necessary  to
issue notice to the respondents.  In all connected matters, this  Court  has
directed the Reference Court to release 50% of the amount deposited  by  the
State  without  security  and  the  remaining  50%  with  security  to   the
satisfaction of the Court.
3.    That order will govern the case of the appellants as well.   The  High
Court may adopt the same  pattern  in  all  the  connected  cases,  so  that
parties do not have to unnecessarily travel to this Court.
4.    In view of the above, the appeal is disposed of.
      No costs.
