I am informed that the challenge is against the order of the Land Acquisition Court refusing to entertain the restoration of the review application after condoning the delay. The award was passed without considering the case of the claimant as he was not present. The Land Acquisition Court did not apply its mind to fix the amount in accordance with law. Therefore, instead of entertaining the review application etc., I set aside the award of the Land Acquisition Court exercising my inherent jurisdiction and direct the Subordinate Judge to restore the case to file and dispose of the same in accordance with law within a period of four months from today, after hearing the claimant as well as the Government. This shall not be cited as a precedent in other cases. The Writ Petition is disposed of as above. M.N.KRISHNAN, JUDGE vgs.
