https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=199579 Section 4(1) of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 was construed as requiring two mandatory steps: first, publication of the notification in the Official Gazette, and then public notice of its substance in the locality. The Court held that "notification" means a formal statutory declaration, not merely an internal governmental decision, and that the word "such" links the locality notice to the gazetted notification. Authorities suggesting that locality notice may precede gazette publication were distinguished, and earlier inconsistent decisions were overruled. Publication in the Official Gazette was therefore treated as a condition precedent, and the acquisition challenge succeeded. en-us Thu, 25 Aug 1983 00:00:00 +0530 Wed, 07 Mar 2018 10:37:41 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=199579 Section 4(1) of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 was construed as requiring two mandatory steps: first, publication of the notification in the Official Gazette, and then public notice of its substance in the locality.
