The statutory two-year limit for making the award is therefore not extended by delay in service, and acquisition does not lapse if notice is served after that period. The fact that the award was made near the end of the prescribed period also does not invalidate the acquisition, because the law allows the award to be made up to the last permissible day and courts will not impose a shorter speed requirement. en-us Fri, 28 Oct 1988 00:00:00 +0530 Wed, 28 Feb 2018 15:22:47 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=199432 For Section 11-A of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, an award is made when the Collector signs it, not when notice is later served on the landowner.
