Time begins when the award is actually or constructively communicated or otherwise known, and knowledge must extend to the essential contents of the award. On the evidence, an earlier application for interim payment did not prove such knowledge; the accepted date of knowledge was receipt of compensation. The reference application was therefore within time and not barred by limitation. en-us Mon, 11 Feb 1963 00:00:00 +0530 Thu, 09 Jul 2015 13:20:46 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=171082 Under the proviso to Section 18 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, the six-month limitation period for seeking a reference does not run merely from the date of the award where the claimant was not present or represented and no notice under Section 12(2) was served.
