Judgment :- Malimath, C.J. In paragraph 14 of our judgment rendered in this writ petition what has been extracted is S.17 of the Kerala Land Reforms Act instead of extracting S.17 of the Kerala Land Reforms (Amendment) Act, 1979, Act 27 of 1979. This is obviously an inadvertent mistake which has crept into the judgment. With a view to rectify this mistake, we directed that the case be listed for being spoken to. After hearing all the learned counsel, we direct that in paragraph 14 of our judgment, S.17 of the Kerala Land Reforms (Amendment) Act 1979, Act 27 of 1979 which reads as follows, shall be substituted in place of S.17 of the Kerala Land Reforms Act: "17. Transitory provision. --(1) Notwithstanding anything contained in any contract, or in any judgment, decree or order of any court or other authority, where the right, title and interest in respect of a holding referred to in Explanation II to S.27 of the principal Act as amended by this Act has been assigned in favour of a cultivating tenant and the purchase price and compensation or annuity payable in respect of such holding has been determined on the basis of contract rent calculated without deducting the interest, tax or cess referred to in the said Explanation, the Land Tribunal may, on application made by the cultivating tenant to whom such right, title and interest have been assigned or by his successor-in-interest within a period of one year from the commencement of this Act, by order, re-determine the purchase price and compensation or annuity payable in respect of such holding on the basis of contract rent calculated after deducting such interest, tax or cess. (2) An application under sub-section (1) shall be in such form and shall contain such particulars as may be prescribed. (3) No order shall be passed under sub-section (1) without giving any person affected thereby an opportunity of being heard.
(2) An application under sub-section (1) shall be in such form and shall contain such particulars as may be prescribed. (3) No order shall be passed under sub-section (1) without giving any person affected thereby an opportunity of being heard. (4) Where an order has been passed under sub-section (1), (a) any amount paid to a land owner or intermediary as compensation in excess of the amount payable under such order shall be refunded by the land owner and the intermediary, if any, to the Government within such period as may be prescribed and if the land owner or intermediary makes default in the payment of such amount on or before the date fixed for refund, the same shall be recoverable from him under the provisions of the Kerala Revenue Recovery Act, 1968, as if it were an arrear of public revenue due on land. (b) any amount paid by the cultivating tenant in excess of the amount payable by him under the said order shall be refunded to him within such period as may be prescribed." 'Editors Note: This is a subsequent correction made by Court to the judgment in O.P. No.3496 of 1981 dated 19th September, 1989 reported in 1989 (2) KLT 511. We further direct the office to get back the certified copies, if any, issued to the parties and incorporate the corrections now ordered. If copies of the judgment have been furnished to any of the law reports, the office shall take appropriate steps to bring to their notice the corrections now made to enable the said law reports to incorporate the corrections in a suitable manner, if the judgment has already been reported, or, to include in the judgment, the corrections, in case the judgment has not so far been reported.
