https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=283891 Section 28A of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 was construed as a remedial provision meant to extend the benefit of a higher award to persons who did not seek a reference under Section 18. The expression "date of the award" was held to mean the date of communication of the award, or the date of actual or constructive knowledge, rather than the date of pronouncement. A certified copy of the award was held not to be a mandatory precondition for a valid Section 28A application, and Section 5 of the Limitation Act, 1963 was held inapplicable to proceedings before the Special Land Acquisition Officer. The applications could not be rejected solely on limitation or non-filing of a certified copy. en-us Fri, 13 Sep 1991 00:00:00 +0530 Sat, 19 Oct 2019 16:19:27 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=283891 Section 28A of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 was construed as a remedial provision meant to extend the benefit of a higher award to persons who did not seek a reference under Section 18.
