The application must be filed within three years from expiry of the ninety-day period allowed to the Deputy Commissioner to make the reference, and delay beyond that period bars the remedy. Section 5 of the Limitation Act does not apply to such proceedings, so stale claims cannot be revived by condonation. After limitation expires, neither the Deputy Commissioner can validly make the reference nor can the court compel it. en-us Tue, 25 Oct 2005 00:00:00 +0530 Sat, 04 May 2019 15:30:29 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=280426 Under the Karnataka amendment to Section 18 of the Land Acquisition Act, a claimant's application under Section 18(3)(b) to compel a reference is governed by Article 137 of the Limitation Act when no specific limitation is prescribed.
