ORDERPanigrahi, J.1. The petitioner is the owner of plot No. 42 in village Srikrishuapur measuring 14 and odd acres. This plot was acquired under Land Acquisition Act by the Collector and an award was passed on 20-7-48. The petitioner was not present at the time the award was made. Notice of the award was accordingly issued under Section 12(2), Land Acquisition Act, and was served upon the petitioner on 23-7-48.
