https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=183636 Section 11A of the Land Acquisition Act makes the Collector's award mandatory within two years from the last publication of the Section 6 declaration; if that period expires, the acquisition lapses. A subsequent corrigendum to the Section 6 declaration does not extend the statutory period, because the only recognised exclusion is the time during which proceedings are stayed by a court order. Reading any further exclusion into the provision would add words not found in the statute. The award was therefore time-barred and invalid, and the challenge succeeded. en-us Tue, 13 Mar 2007 00:00:00 +0530 Thu, 16 Jun 2016 18:41:36 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=183636 Section 11A of the Land Acquisition Act makes the Collector's award mandatory within two years from the last publication of the Section 6 declaration; if that period expires, the acquisition lapses.
