KURIAN, J.
1.    Leave granted.

2.    The main issue in these appeals pertains to the framing of  guidelines
regarding payment of  compensation  in  respect  of  the  damage  caused  by
drawing of transmission lines.  During the pendency of  these  appeals,  the
Government of India has framed  fresh  guidelines  regarding  the  mode  and
manner of assessment of compensation.

3.    These appeals are, hence, disposed of with liberty to the  respondents
to approach the Government of India, if they have any  further  grievance(s)
with regard to the guidelines.
      No costs.
