IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE FOR RAJASTHAN AT JODHPUR -------------------------------------------------------- CIVIL WRIT No. 2253 of 2007 SUMER SINGH & ORS. V/S STATE & ORS. DR.P.S.BHATI, for the appellant / petitioner Date of Order : 17.5.2007 HON'BLE SHRI N P GUPTA,J. ORDER ----- Heard learned counsel for the petitioner. The petitioner has filed this writ petition challenging the acquisition proceedings, and has also sought a direction to pay enhanced compensation. The only argument made by learned counsel for the petitioner is that after making of the award, Annex.4, when the petitioner filed application Annex.5, it was required to be referred for adjudication of the quantum of claim as required by Section 18 of the Land Acquisition Act. Suffice it to say that award is dated 7.8.2003, and the application, Annex.5 has been filed on 12.2.2007. In my view, on the basis of the language of Section 18, considering from any standpoint, the application cannot be said to have been filed within the permissible period of time. In that view of the matter, the contention cannot be accepted. No other point was argued. The writ petition is, therefore, dismissed summarily. ( N P GUPTA ),J. /tarun/
