ORDER

1.We have heard learned counsel and are satisfied that the view taken by 11ft is correct. We may point out that the judgment of the Delhi the case of Raj Singh v. Union of India1 followed therein has been approved by this Court in the case of Union of India v. Harish Chand Anand it must be said that the issue before this Court was much that before the Delhi High Court. In any event, we find that .en by the Delhi High Court is the appropriate view in the circumstance and we do not approve of the contrary view taken by the Pradesh High Court in Durga Dass Sud v. Union of India7. This would dispose of the appeal by the grantee.

2.So far as the appeal by the Union of India against the same judgment is concerned, we find no reason to interfere with the directions given in the se to hear the grantee on the aspect of the compensation.

3. The appeals are dismissed. No order as to costs.
