Since Ext.P4 has been filed within the time frame set under the common judgment, I am of the view that the Land Acquisition Officer, the third respondent should allow that application and make a reference to the court under Section 18 for the question of determination of correct compensation payable to the petitioner. It is open to the petitioner to claim before the reference court that they are also entitled for land value at the rates applicable to DLPC Scheme. The reference will be answered by the reference court on the basis of the evidence which comes on record before that court. The Writ Petition is allowed as above. srd PIUS C.KURIAKOSE, JUDGE
