That omission was treated as deliberate, so delay could not be condoned under the general law. The right of pre-emption was described as a weak statutory right requiring strict compliance with the prescribed limitation period, and a belated application under Section 8 was therefore not maintainable. en-us Tue, 09 Mar 2004 00:00:00 +0530 Tue, 08 Dec 2015 10:46:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=170450 Section 5 of the Limitation Act, 1963 was held inapplicable to pre-emption applications under Section 8 of the West Bengal Land Reforms Act, 1955 because the special statute prescribes a specific filing period and, in its scheme, expressly incorporates Section 5 for appeals and revisions but omits it for Section 8.
