It is also seen that the petitioner has not produced even a copy of any such application filed by him. Under the above circumstances, it is not possible to grant the relief sought for - a mandamus to the land acquisition officer to refer the question of determination of the compensation correctly payable under Section 18. The prayer is declined. However, it is made clear that this judgment will not stand in the way of the petitioner applying for redetermination of the compensation under Section 28A on the basis of any relevant court award.
