https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=183782 Section 3A(2) of the National Highways Act, 1956 requires a brief, identifiable description of the land to be acquired. A notification that merely states survey numbers and areas, but omits which specific portion of a larger holding is being taken and gives no supporting plan, is too vague and does not satisfy the statutory mandate. Non-filing of objections under Section 3C, delay in challenge, a prior compensation claim, or later vesting and possession do not cure an invalid foundational notification. Where the project is already complete, relief may be moulded by preserving the acquisition and fixing compensation with reference to the date of dispossession. en-us Wed, 23 Nov 2005 00:00:00 +0530 Thu, 04 Apr 2024 17:37:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=183782 Section 3A(2) of the National Highways Act, 1956 requires a brief, identifiable description of the land to be acquired.
