PRAYER: Civil Revision Petition is filed under Article 227 of

Constitution of India, to call for the records relating to L.A.O.P. No. 22

of 2020 pending on the file of the Principal Sub Court, Tirunelveli, to

strike off the same as being without jurisdiction and an abuse of

direct the 1st respondent to determine the compensation in

accordance with the provisions of the Right to Fair Compensation and

Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement

Act, 2013, and to make a reference under Section 64 of the said Act,

Scheme. Though the acquisition proceedings were initiated in the year

1989, the compensation has not been paid till date. In such

circumstances, according to the learned counsel, the reference made

by the Land Acquisition Officer under Section 30 of the Land

Acquisition Act, 1894, is untenable and the reference should have

been made under Section 64 of the Right to Fair Compensation and

Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement

Act, 2013. Therefore, according to the learned counsel, the reference

made under the old Act is liable to be strike off from the file.

3.It is seen from the typed set of papers that the notification

under Section 4(1) of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, was issued on

30.08.1989 and the declaration under Section 6 was made on

01.10.1990. The award came to be passed on 04.06.2001. It is also

evident from the records that the possession of the acquired lands was

taken from the petitioner and the other landowners in the year 2001.

As per the law settled by the Constitution Bench of the Hon'ble

Supreme Court in the d
