The counsel for the applicant, on enquiry states that he has personally satisfied himself that Bijender Singh, S/o Jagdhir Singh is the same person as Vijender Singh, S/o Jagdhir Singh and that no other person except the LA.APP. 852/2006 Page 1 of 2 applicant has approached the Collector for receiving the compensation of the share of the appellant No.3 Vijender Singh. 4. Though notice of this application was ordered to be issued and Mohd. Shoaib Akhtar, counsel for Union of India appears, but without knowing anything and only knowing that Mr. Sanjay Kumar Pathak is the Advocate and he is busy in another case. Such appearance is as good as no appearance. 5. It was the duty of the Land Acquisition Collector to have verified the identity of the applicant and the same having not been done, believing the statement of the counsel for the applicant, the application is allowed. The name of the appellant No.3 Virender Singh, in the Reference, from which this appeal arose and in this appeal, be read as Bijender Singh, S/o Jagdhir Singh instead of Vijender Singh, S/o Jagdhir Singh. 6.
