Background:
A writ petition was filed challenging the Land Acquisition Officer's rejection of an application for reference under Section 28A(3) of the Land Acquisition Act.

Arguments Presented:
Court's Analysis and Reasoning:
The court analyzed the provisions of the Land Acquisition Act and the previous decision of the Kerala High Court. The court held that the Land Acquisition Officer had the authority to reject the application and that such applications were not maintainable.
Decision:
The court dismissed the writ petition, upholding the Land Acquisition Officer's authority to reject Section 28A(3) applications.
