In view of the claim made by the petitioner with reference to the land in question, the second respondent is directed to allow the petitioner also to participate in the award enquiry proceedings and thereafter only pass appropriate orders as to who is entitled to the compensation either by himself or by referring to the civil Court, if complicated questions are required to be decided as is contemplated under Section 30 of the Act. The petitioner is directed to file her objections before the second respondent within a period of two weeks from today. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of, at the admission stage.
