IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH CR No.8419/2010 Date of decision: 20.04.2011. Smt.Santra ....................Petitioner v. The Sate of Haryana and others .....................Respondents Coram: Hon'ble Mr.Justice Jaswant Singh Present: Mr.Rajender Chhokar,Advocate for the petitioner. Jaswant Singh.J.(Oral) Petitioner-Smt.Santra has invoked the revisional jurisdiction of this Court under Article 227 of the Constitution assailing the order dated 27.3.2008 (P1)passed by the learned Additional District Judge,Faridabad whereby her application under Section 28-A (3) of the Land Acquisition Act,1894 (for short the Act) has been dismissed as hopelessly time barred. Learned counsel submits that an application dated 23.4.2007 under Section 28-A(3) was moved for awarding the compensation in respect of her acquired land at the rate of Rs.306/- per square yard, which had been awarded by the learned Reference Court vide award/judgment dated 21.2.2000 in LAC No.1040/1997, filed by another similarly situated land owners . It is submitted that the limitation is to be seen with effect from the date the date of passing of the award by the High Court in RFAs filed by other land owners, and therefore, the application was within limitation. After hearing learned counsel for the petitioner and perusing the pleadings carefully, I find that there is no merit in the plea raised on behalf of the petitioner. It cannot be disputed that under Section 28-A(3)of the Act the land owner who has not filed reference is entitled to file an application for granting the same rate of compensation as awarded by the Reference Court provided the same is filed within three months from the date of award by the Reference Court. In the present case the award was passed by the Reference Court on 21.2.2000 and even the RFA was decided by this Court on 29.5.2004. The application was admittedly preferred on 23.4.2007. It is thus clear that the finding recorded by the learned Reference Court that the claim is barred by limitation cannot be faulted. Dismissed. 20.04.2011 (Jaswant Singh) joshi Judge
