Under the above circumstances, I am not inclined to grant the reliefs sought for. But I make it clear that it will always open to the petitioner to convince the reference court that the purchase price fixed by the DLPC is the correct market value payable for the property at the relevant time. The petitioner is permitted to seek his impleadment in LAR No.231/07 in which case impleadment will be granted. The Writ Petition is disposed of as above. srd PIUS C.KURIAKOSE, JUDGE
