because of pendency of litigations which ended only by 2018. The pendency of the litigation or the delay in the process cannot be held against the petitioner in any manner. That a fresh application has been filed and a fresh order of assignment was issued in 2019 as a reason for rejection, also cannot be countenanced. Annexure R2(a) which is stated to be the fresh order of assignment, says about the collection of arrears due as per Rule 10(3) of the Rules as well as additional amount of land value than what was collected as per Ext.P1 order. In Ext.P1 order, the land value collected was Rs.2,500/- while the present land value has been fixed as Rs.4,960/-. So also an amount of Rs.125/- was charged in Ext.P1 towards survey and demarcation charges while an additional amount of Rs.640/- is now charged towards survey and demarcation charges. No tree value has been fixed in Ext.P1 and arrears due under Rule 10(3) is shown as 'Nil' in Ext.P1 while a sum of Rs.4,075/- has been charged towards arrears in the order dated 21.01.2019. It is hence clear that Annexure R1(a) is a continuation of the proceedings and cannot be treated as a fresh assignment issued on that day on the basis of a fresh application in which case there should have been no arrears due, as in Ext.P1. I hence hold that Annexure R1(a) has to relate back to Ext.P1 order
