1.Notice to the respondents is dispensed with having regard to the directions to be issued hereunder.

2.Perused affidavit. Heard. We are satisfied that sufficient cause has been shown to condone the delay. Hence, the captioned C.M.Application is allowed.

3.We have heard the learned senior Government Pleader. 4.The matter arises from a land acquisition case. The reference court passed an award on a reference under Section 18 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, hereinafter 'Act', for short. It is

RP747/15 -2submitted that there is yet another reference under Section 31 of the Act on the question of apportionment. The result of the decision rendered in the appeal is in relation to the market value and compensation payable for the land that is acquired. This means that the increased land value as ordered by the appellate court will apply to the entire extent acquired. The benefit of that enhancement will accrue to the persons who are entitled to compensation following acquisition. The ratio of division between such persons will obviously be in terms of any decision of the competent court on reference under Section 31 of the Act, which is stated to have already been made.

Those are matters which will have to be worked out by the judicial authority or the administrative authority who will, ultimately, be responsible to release the amounts which will be deposited before the appropriate court following the appellate award. If the property is found to be belonging to one person exclusively in the reference under Section 31 of the Act, the release of amount will be made accordingly.

RP747/15 -3directions contained in the appellate judgment. This review petition is ordered accordingly.
