After completion of all<br \/>\nthe legal formalities, the appellant passed the order dated<br \/>\n02.03.1984 in Compensation Case No. 127 of 1983 granting compensation<br \/>\nof Rs.0.40 per sq. metre. Against the said award, the claimants<br \/>\npreferred applications, which, came to be referred to the Court below<br \/>\nby way of references. The reference Court, after appreciating the<br \/>\nevidence on record, partly allowed the references by enhancing the<br \/>\namount of compensation. Being aggrieved by the said award, the<br \/>\nappellant has preferred these appeals.\n<\/p>\n<p>3.\tLearned<br \/>\nAdvocate for the appellant submitted that the issue involved in these<br \/>\nappeals is squarely covered by the ratio laid down in the case of Oil<br \/>\n&amp; Natural Gas Corporation Ltd. Vs. Sankarji Hemaji &amp; Anr.<br \/>\nreported in [2008] 17 GHJ (523). The operative part of the said<br \/>\njudgment reads as under:\n<\/p>\n<p> 41.\tSimilarly,<br \/>\nevent he conduct and the action of the then Special Land Acquisition<br \/>\nOfficer, who has referred the references applications in more than<br \/>\n100 cases to the reference court, though the applications for<br \/>\nreference were filed after a period of more than 20 years, is also<br \/>\nrequired to be considered seriously at the hands of Government. Under<br \/>\nthe circumstances, Chief Secretary, Revenue Department is directed to<br \/>\nhold necessary inquiry against the concerned Special Land Acquisition<br \/>\nOfficer with regard to his conduct and actions. Registry is directed<br \/>\nto communicate this order to the Chief Secretary, Revenue Department,<br \/>\nState of Gujarat for compliance.\n<\/p>\n<p>42.\tFor<br \/>\nthe reasons stated herein above, all the appeals succeed and are<br \/>\nallowed with costs which is quantified at Rs.5000\/- (Rupees Five<br \/>\nThousand only) per each appeal. The impugned common judgment and<br \/>\naward dated 15.10.2005 passed by the learned Principal Senior Civil<br \/>\nJudge, Mehsana (Mr. J.R. Shah) inland Reference Case Nos.3780 to 3784<br \/>\nof 2003 is hereby quashed and set aside and it is held that:\n<\/p>\n<p>[i]\tThe<br \/>\nreference applications submitted by the original claimants were not<br \/>\nmaintainable.\n<\/p>\n<p>[ii]\tThe<br \/>\nreference applications were required to be dismissed on the ground of<br \/>\nlimitation considering Article 137 of the Limitation Act. In the<br \/>\nalternate, the same were required to be dismissed on the ground of<br \/>\ndelay and latches.\n<\/p>\n<p>[iii]\tThe<br \/>\nreference court has no jurisdiction to decide any other question<br \/>\nexcept the difference as to sufficiency of compensation in a<br \/>\nreference under sec.35(3) of the Act.\n<\/p>\n<p>[iv]\tThe<br \/>\nreference court has no jurisdiction to decide any other question<br \/>\nexcept the difference as to sufficiency of compensation in a<br \/>\nreference under section 35(3) of the Act.\n<\/p>\n<p>[v]\tThe<br \/>\nreference court has no jurisdiction to declare acquisition<br \/>\nproceedings and the award declared by the Special Land Acquisition<br \/>\nOfficer under sec.35(3) of the Act as illegal and\/or non-est in a<br \/>\nreference under section 35(3) of the Act.\n<\/p>\n<p>[vi]\tThe<br \/>\nreference court has no jurisdiction to declare possession of the<br \/>\nacquiring body as illegal and\/or unauthorized and consequently the<br \/>\nreference court has no jurisdiction to declare the ONGC-acquiring<br \/>\nbody as trespasser that too without framing any issue.\n<\/p>\n<p>[vii]\tThe<br \/>\nreference court has no jurisdiction toward compensation by way of<br \/>\nmesne profit declaring compensation of the acquiring body as illegal<br \/>\nand unauthorized.\n<\/p>\n<p>[viii]\tThe<br \/>\nreference court has also no jurisdiction to award statutory benefits<br \/>\nand or interest, as awarded by the reference court, as if the<br \/>\nacquisition proceedings is a permanent acquisition.\n<\/p>\n<p>[ix]\tThe<br \/>\nreference court has no jurisdiction to determine the dispute with<br \/>\nregard to sufficiency of the compensation beyond the period of three<br \/>\nyears from the date of taking the possession.\n<\/p>\n<p>[x]\tThe<br \/>\nReference Court has no jurisdiction to restore the possession of the<br \/>\nland to the original owners while deciding the reference under<br \/>\nsec.35(3) of the Act.\n<\/p>\n<p>4.\tAdmittedly,<br \/>\nthe reference Court has not considered the aspects of jurisdiction as<br \/>\nalso limitation and other questions as set out in the aforesaid<br \/>\njudgment. In that view of the matter, the impugned award of the<br \/>\nreference Court cannot be sustained. This proposition is not disputed<br \/>\nby the learned Advocate for the respondents.\n<\/p>\n<p>5.\tIn<br \/>\nthe premises aforesaid, these appeals are allowed. The judgment and<br \/>\naward impugned in these appeals is quashed and set aside. The appeals<br \/>\nstand disposed of accordingly.
