JUSTICE A.N. JINDAL Present: Mr. Pritam Saini, Advocate, for the petitioners. Mr. P.L. Singla, Advocate, for respondent No.1. Mr. H.S. Sirohi, Advocate, for respondent No.2. Mr. C.L. Sharma, Advocate, for respondent No.3. A.N. JINDAL, J. (Oral) The Award was passed by the Land Acquisition Collector in favour of Gram Panchayat, Bheora on 18-4-1996 against which two separate references were made. One by Gram Panchayat, Bheora and other by Harish Kumar tenant/lessee over the land for apportionment of the compensation. During the pendency of these references before the Reference Court, the petitioners moved an CR No.3376 of 2008 -2- application for impleading them as parties-respondents in both the references which application was declined. At this juncture, I was informed that these petitioners have also moved an application under Section 30 of the Land Acquisition Act for apportionment of the compensation before the Collector which is still to be referred. As regards the application under Order 1 Rule 10 of the CPC, I am not inclined to accept the same. However, the Collector is directed to make such reference to the District Judge, Rupnagar for onward transfer to the Reference Court whereupon all the three references will be decided together including the right of the petitioners to seek any compensation. Disposed of. (A.N. JINDAL) 17-4-2009 JUDGE manju
