Sri Dwivedi further submits that entire award has been finalized and the compensation has been paid to the petitioner and if petitioner was aggrieved for there being less compensation, he ought to have applied for reference, which exercise has not been done and, therefore, compensation already awarded deserves to be paid. 4.
