https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=193357 A cancellation of a Section 6 land acquisition declaration took effect only on publication in the Official Gazette, not from the earlier date on the cancellation order. Until that publication, landowners had no notice of withdrawal and could not be expected to attend a Section 5-A hearing, so the purported hearing was not a real opportunity to object. The power to rescind under Section 21 of the General Clauses Act did not permit retrospective cancellation of the declaration. The Court therefore treated compliance with Section 5-A as illusory and held the hearing invalid, with the fresh Section 6 declaration also invalid. en-us Tue, 23 Nov 1976 00:00:00 +0530 Tue, 25 Jul 2017 17:42:31 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=193357 A cancellation of a Section 6 land acquisition declaration took effect only on publication in the Official Gazette, not from the earlier date on the cancellation order.
