https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=183153 Presence at the award and receipt of compensation without protest bars a reference under the Land Acquisition Act when the claimant does not act within the statutory period. The proviso to Section 18(2) requires a person present or represented before the Collector to seek reference within six weeks from the award, and the second proviso to Section 31(2) disentitles a person who accepted compensation without protest. Absence of a separate notice under Section 12(2) does not extend limitation, and later impleaded parties cannot enlarge the statutory right. A reference made in breach of this bar is without jurisdiction. en-us Fri, 04 Apr 1997 00:00:00 +0530 Mon, 30 May 2016 18:22:34 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=183153 Presence at the award and receipt of compensation without protest bars a reference under the Land Acquisition Act when the claimant does not act within the statutory period.
