(1.) THE question of law which arises for adjudication in this appeal is whether the compensation awarded by the Land Acquisition Collector under the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 (for short 'the Act') can be enhanced by the District Judge by entertaining an application under Order 47 Rule 1 read with Section 151 of the Code of Civil Procedure.
(2.) AFTER hearing Shri Dhiman, learned counsel for the appellant, we are convinced that the judgment under appeal does not suffer from any error of law warranting interference by the Appeal Bench.
(3.) THE learned single Judge, before, whom the Union of India filed F. A. O. No. 1023 of 1986, held that the order of the learned District Judge was without jurisdiction because he could not have directed the payment of enhanced compensation by invoking Section 28-A of the Act.
