                                       (K. Ramaswamy, B. L. Hansaria JJ)

                                                      08.12.1995

                                                        ORDER

1. Leave granted.

2. The controversy is no longer res integra as regards entitlement to payment of additional amount
under Section 23(1-A) of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, as amended by Act 68 of 1984. The
award of the Land Acquisition Officer is dated 30-7-1981. Therefore, Section 23(1-A) has no
application to the award in question. Under these circumstances, the civil court has no jurisdiction to
amend the award and decree awarding additional amount under Section 23(1-A). The High Court
equally committed an error of law in dismissing the civil revision in that behalf.

3. The appeals are accordingly allowed to the above extent. No costs.
