JUDGMENT

Ext. P1 application filed for redetermination of compensation under Section 28A of the Land Acquisition Act 1894 has been rejected by Ext. P2 order. The only reason stated therein is that such a redetermination cannot be had on the basis of a revised judgment. This view is palpably wrong in view of the authoritative pronouncement of the Supreme Court on the issue.

Ext. P2 order is accordingly quashed and the first respondent is directed to reconsider Ext. P1 application as per law. The same shall be done with notice to the petitioners within a period of two months.

The writ petition is disposed of.

V. CHITAMBARESH JUDGE DCS
