The reference has been rejected on merits as well as on the ground that it is filed beyond limitation. In sofar as the first ground is ssm 2 911.cra.399.10 concerned, the Apex Court in case of Dr. G. H. Grant Vs. State of Bihar reported in AIR 196 SC 237 has held that when an application is made to the Collector under Section 18 of the Land Acquisition Act, he is bound to make reference to the Court. In that view of the matter, rejection on merits is not sustainable in law. 4. In sofar as second ground regarding limitation is concerned, the limitation prescribed for making an application before the Collector is 42 days.

Thus, it is clear that if the two holidays are taken into consideration, the application was filed within limitation. In that view of the matter, the rejection on the said ground is also not sustainable. Civil Revision Application is allowed in terms of prayer clause (c). (B. R. GAVAI, J.)
