https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=176467 Section 28A of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 requires an application for re-determination of compensation to be filed within three months from the date of the court award, excluding the day of pronouncement and the time needed to obtain a copy. The provision does not refer to the applicant's knowledge of the award, so the knowledge-based rule applied under Section 18 was held inapplicable. The Court reiterated that beneficial legislation cannot be extended beyond clear statutory language and that unambiguous limitation periods must be applied strictly. The limitation period therefore runs from the award date, not from the date of knowledge. en-us Thu, 22 Aug 2013 00:00:00 +0530 Fri, 25 Dec 2015 20:31:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=176467 Section 28A of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 requires an application for re-determination of compensation to be filed within three months from the date of the court award, excluding the day of pronouncement and the time needed to obtain a copy.
