The time taken to obtain a copy of the appellate judgment does not extend the statutory period, because it is not a permitted exclusion under the provision. The text also notes that a later Constitution Bench ruling on Section 11A did not affect a writ petition already pending, and that a prompt challenge after the award could not be rejected for delay. en-us Fri, 14 Oct 2011 00:00:00 +0530 Fri, 05 Aug 2016 14:42:01 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=185257 Section 11A of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 requires the Collector to make an award within two years from publication of the Section 6 declaration, and only the period during which the acquisition proceedings are stayed by a court is excluded from that computation.
