Considering the fact that respondents 1 and 2 are competent and duty bound to consider and pass orders on receipt of an application under Section 28A of the Land Acquisition Act for re- determination, these writ petitions are disposed of with a direction to the respondents 1 and 2 to consider the applications referred to above submitted by the petitioners for re-determination of compensation under Section 28A of Land Acquisition Act, if the applications referred to as Ext.P1 in the former writ petitions and as Exts.P1 and P2 in the latter writ petition are already received and pending, and pass appropriate orders thereon in accordance with law.
