Section 24(1)(b) preserves acquisition proceedings where an award has already been made under the 1894 Act, while Section 24(2) creates a separate exception for awards five years or more old where possession has not been taken or compensation has not been paid. On that construction, the respondents were not entitled to compensation under the Act of 2013. en-us Wed, 15 Nov 2017 00:00:00 +0530 Thu, 11 Feb 2021 20:27:57 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=293484 The proviso to Section 24(2) of the Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013 qualifies only that sub-section and cannot be read into Section 24(1)(b), because a proviso ordinarily operates on the provision to which it is attached and should not make the main enactment otiose or internally inconsistent.
