JUDGMENT

The Government Pleader on instructions submits that the application put in by the petitioner for reference under Section 18 of the Land Acquisition Act is barred by limitation. It is however clarified that the petitioner is at liberty to apply for redetermination of compensation under Section 28A of the Land Acquisition Act if there are good and valid grounds. The writ petition is disposed of subject to the above. V. CHITAMBARESH JUDGE
