The District Collector and the Land Acquisition Officer are the review applicants.

APLW (MD) SR.No.40770 of 2026 3. The learned counsel appearing for the review applicants submitted that this Court had only directed the respondents to redetermine the compensation amount. According to the learned counsel, the petitioner/respondent is not automatically entitled to the compensation merely because such a direction was issued. 4. The expression of “redetermine” used in the said order does not mean that compensation has to be paid, particularly if the said writ petitioner is otherwise found to be ineligible. 5. This Court considered the submissions made by the learned counsel appearing for the review applicants. No sufficient cause has been shown to condone the delay of 83 days in filing the Review Application. Further, no valid grounds have been raised in the review application, warranting interference with the order sought to be reviewed. 6. Accordingly, this Writ Miscellaneous Petition stands dismissed. Consequently, the Review Application in REV. APLW (MD) SR. No.40770 of 2026 is also dismissed at the SR stage itself. 3/4 https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis WMP (MD),No.10922 of 2026 in REV.
