1. Heard learned counsel for the applicant.

Thus, considering the ratio of the judgment of the Hon'ble Apex Court rendered in the case of Collector Land Acquisition, Anantnag and Another Vs. Mst. Katiji and Others, reported in AIR (1987) SC 1353, the present application deserves to be allowed subject to the condition that the applicants shall not be entitled for the interest of the delayed period, on the enhanced amount of compensation, if the appeal for enhancement is allowed. Thus, in view of the above, the delay is condoned. No order as to costs.
