The land in question was acquired under the provisions of the said Act in the year 2002 and the award is also passed 4. The learned counsel for the petitioner could not point out to this Court in what provisions of law, the award can be reopened and in absence thereof, it is very difficult for us to appreciate the contentions canvassed by the learned counsel for the petitioner in respect of the land acquisition proceedings undertaken by the respondents under the provisions of the above said Act. The petition suffers for lack of merit and hence, it is dismissed. [ SMT. V.K. TAHILRAMANI, J ] [ D. D. SINHA, J ] 2 8. wp 5646-10.doc 3
