https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=187861 A statutory appeal to the High Court under Section 54 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 does not, by itself, exclude a further intra-court appeal under the Letters Patent. The non-obstante clause was treated as regulating the appellate forum rather than abolishing charter jurisdiction, and the phrase "an appeal" was not read as limiting the High Court to a single stage of appeal. Section 26, which treats the award as a decree and its grounds as a judgment, also supported maintainability.
