https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=173610 Section 48 of the Administration of Evacuee Property Act permits recovery as arrears of land revenue only for sums that are legally due to the State Government or the Custodian; it does not authorise recovery of amounts that are merely claimed or disputed. Where liability for damages or compensation is contested, including disputes over tenancy, period of occupation, rate of compensation, or removal of machinery, the Custodian cannot act as an adjudicator of civil rights. The provision does not exclude ordinary civil court jurisdiction over contested liabilities, and a finality clause cannot extend to disputes not already legally due. Recovery of the disputed demand was therefore impermissible. en-us Thu, 09 Aug 1956 00:00:00 +0530 Fri, 18 Sep 2015 15:19:09 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=173610 Section 48 of the Administration of Evacuee Property Act permits recovery as arrears of land revenue only for sums that are legally due to the State Government or the Custodian; it does not authorise recovery of amounts that are merely claimed or disputed.
