(2) Giving or withholding damages. (b) For purposes of this section each person whose land is: (1) reported as affected; or (2) stated in the petition as affected; is considered to be in court by virtue of the notices originally given to the parties on the pendency of the petition. (c) If: (1) the land described in the petition as affected by the proposed work; and (2) the surveyor has reported the land as neither benefited nor damaged; the court may, if the facts and justice warrant, make assessments against the land.
