https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=160374 Section 28-A of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 is a beneficial provision enabling redetermination of compensation for landowners who did not make an effective Section 18 reference. A Section 18 reference rejected as time-barred is treated as no effective application, so the landowner is not barred from invoking Section 28-A if other statutory conditions are met. Receipt of compensation without protest, by itself, does not disqualify a claimant from seeking redetermination where no Section 18 reference was pursued. The provision is to be construed liberally to advance its remedial purpose and avoid adding restrictions not found in the statute. en-us Thu, 12 Sep 2002 00:00:00 +0530 Tue, 30 Sep 2025 15:17:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=160374 Section 28-A of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 is a beneficial provision enabling redetermination of compensation for landowners who did not make an effective Section 18 reference.
