For re-determination of the compensation, the petitioner has submitted application relying on Exhibits P2 and P3 judgments and decree. 2. Considering the contention of the petitioner that he has already submitted Exhibit P4 application under Section 28A of the Land Acquisition Act, and it is still pending before the second respondent, I am of the considered view that the second respondent is bound to consider the same, in accordance with law. Therefore, without making any observation as to the merits of the contentions raised in this writ petition, it is disposed of with a direction to the second respondent to consider Exhibit P4 application under Section W.P.(C) No.30455 of 2010 -2- 28A of the Land Acquisition Act and pass appropriate orders thereon, in accordance with law. It shall be done expeditiously, at any rate, within six weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. Sd/- C.T.RAVIKUMAR, JUDGE //TRUE COPY// P.A. TO JUDGE KRK
