[Civil Appeal No.1363 of 2007]. A two-Judge Bench of this Court in Lilawati Agarwal (Dead) By Lrs. and Others vs. State of Jharkhand[1], after referring to the paragraphs 31 and 34 of the pronouncement in Union of India and Another vs. Raghubir Singh (Dead) By Lrs. Etc.[2], expressed doubt with regard to the correctness of the decision in K.S. Paripoornan (II) vs. State of Kerala and Others[3] and eventually expressed thus:- "In Raghubir Singh case two terminus points were fixed i.e. award by the Collector or decision of the Reference Court must have been taken between 3- 4-1982 and 24-9-1984. It has been clearly stated in the last line of para 34 that every case "must" have been decided between the aforesaid terminus. In Paripoornan II case at para 4 it was observed that restrictive interpretation should not be given. With great respect we are unable to subscribe to the view.
