BASANT BALAJI THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 18/11/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: PIUS C. KURIAKOSE, J. ------------------------------- W.P(C). No. 30252 OF 2008-B ------------------------------- Dated this the 18th November, 2008. JUDGMENT Learned Govt. Pleader on instruction submits that none among the awardees applied for reference under Section 18. It has been held by this Court that an award has been passed by the Court under Section 28A(3) can also be relied on for maintaining applications under Section 28A. Obviously the application filed under Section 18 by the petitioner is time barred. I do not find any way to grant relief to the petitioner. Writ petition will stand dismissed. But I make it clear that this judgment will not stand in the way of the petitioner making an application under Section 28A on the basis of an award under Section 26 or on the basis of an award under Section 28A(3).
