Nos.6988 & 7063 of 2003 .................................................................... Dated this the 14th day of March, 2007. JUDGMENT The O.Ps. are filed for direction to reopen the Land Acquisition Reference cases to implead the petitioner-Panchayat as additional respondent being the requisitioning authority and hear their objections and determine the compensation afresh. However, it is conceded that acquisitions were in 1983 and Land Acquisition Reference cases ended up in Land Acquisition Appeal cases 168, 169 and 232 of 1994 which were disposed of by this court in 1999. In the circumstances, the claim is hopelessly time barred and the O.Ps. are therefore dismissed. C.N.RAMACHANDRAN NAIR Judge pms
