BEDI, C.J., & V. M. KANADE, J. DATED: NOVEMBER 13, 2006. P.C.: Heard learned Counsel for the parties. 2. The only grievance of the petitioners is that they had made a valid application under Section 28- A of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, (hereinafter 2 “the Act”, for short) for re-determination of the compensation with respect to the land acquired from the petitioners in the year 1970. The learned Assistant Government Pleader seeks time to ascertain the actual position, but we are of the opinion that in the facts and circumstances of the case this may not be necessary in view of the order that we intend to make. 3. We, accordingly, direct the respondents that in case a valid application as aforesaid has been made under Section 28-A of the Act, the same shall be disposed of by the authority concerned within a period of four months from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this order. The petition is, accordingly, disposed of. Sd/- CHIEF JUSTICE Sd/- V.M.KANADE, J.
