body1985
M. P. CHANDRAKANTARAJ, J. ( 1 ) THERE is no merit in this revision petition filed by the State. What was contended before the learned Civil Judge was that the application seeking an order of reference to the Civil Court was made 90 days after the date of the award. That contention was rejected on the sole ground that it was not a case of the interested person seeking a reference directly through the Court but, a case of concerned Land Acquisition Officer not making a reference despite an application made to him for reference by the interested person. Therefore, 90 days must naturally commence from the 90th day after the presentation of the application at which point no reference had been made by the Land Acquisition Officer. Therefore, the conclusion reached by the learned Civil Judge is in conformity with the provisions contained in Cl. (b) of Sub-S. (3) of S. 18 of the Act. ( 2 ) PETITION dismissed. Revision dismissed. --- *** --- .
