KURIAN, J.

1.    Delay condoned.
2.    Leave granted.
3.    The learned counsel for the appellant submits  that  the  award  could
not be passed on account of the operation of stay.  Apparently, there is  no
stay after 2010.  If that be so, there is no merit in the  contention  taken
by the appellant that the stay order granted  by  the  Court  prevented  the
award being passed within the time permitted under Section 11A of  the  Land
Acquisition Act, 1894.
4.    Therefore, this appeal is dismissed.
      No costs.
