....the present Appeal(s). 15. The learned Senior Advocate for the Appellant/Plaintiff has further challenged the grant of relief equal to 30 per cent of the amount of compensation payable in respect of the sites which were allotted to the private Defendants by asserting that for the fault of Defendant No.1-Society, the Appellant/Plaintiff cannot be held liable, nor can he be forced to share the amount of compensation. The liability, if any, would be of Defendant No.1-Society of which these private Defendants were members.

The judgment as has been passed by the High Court affirming the ownership and title of the suit property in favour....
