Lokur and Justice Kurian Joseph in their recent judgment.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Under section 24(2) (of The Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013), land acquisition proceedings initiated under the 1894 (Land Acquisition) Act by legal fiction, are deemed to have lapsed where award has been made five years or more prior to the commencement of 2013 act and possession of the land is not taken or compensation has not been paid,&#8221; the court said.<\/p>\n<p>The court&#8217;s ruling came while addressing the question what is the &#8220;true meaning&#8221; of the expression: &#8220;compensation has not been paid&#8221; occurring in Section 24(2) of the 2013 act.<\/p>\n<p>The court said that the 1894 Land Acquisition Act being &#8220;an expropriatory legislation has to be strictly followed. The procedure, mode and manner for payment of compensation are prescribed in Part V (sections 31-34) of the 1894 Act. The collector, with regard to the payment of compensation, can only act in the manner so provided&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It is settled proposition of law that where a power is given to do a certain thing in a certain way, the thing must be done in that way or not at all. Other methods of performance are necessarily forbidden,&#8221; the court said while dismissing the plea by Pune Municipal Corporation challenging the Bombay High Court verdict by which it has quashed the acquisition of 43.94 acres for development of a Forest Garden.<\/p>\n<p>The award for the compensation for acquiring these lands was made Jan 31, 2008, and notices were issued to the landowners to receive the compensation but since they did not receive the compensation, the amount (Rs.27 crore) was deposited in the government treasury.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Can it be said that deposit of the amount of compensation in the government treasury is equivalent to the amount of compensation paid to the landowners\/persons interested? We do not think so,&#8221; the court said answering its own poser.<\/p>\n<p>(Source: IANS)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a significant judgment, the Supreme Court has held that if compensation for land acquired under the 1894 act has not been paid to the land owner or deposited with a competent court and retained in the treasury, then the acquisition would be deemed to have lapsed and would be covered under the 2013 law [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":21,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[1],"tags":[27662,27664,25114,12630,2578,4320,47765,27663,47774,47775,23371],"class_list":["post-31941","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-top-law-news","tag-1894-act","tag-1894-land-acquisition-act","tag-justice-kurian-joseph","tag-justice-madan-b-lokur","tag-justice-r-m-lodha","tag-land-acquisition","tag-news","tag-rehabilitation-and-resettlement-act-2013","tag-todays-news","tag-todays-top-news","tag-top-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Land acquisition invalid if compensation not paid to owner, says SC<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Land acquisition invalid if compensation not paid to owner, says SC\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.legalindia.com\/news\/land-acquisition-invalid-compensation-paid-owner-says-sc\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Land acquisition invalid if compensation not paid to owner, says SC\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Land acquisition invalid if compensation not paid to owner, says SC\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.legalindia.com\/news\/land-acquisition-invalid-compensation-paid-owner-says-sc\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Legal News India - Supreme Court &amp; High Court Updates\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/LegalindiaCom\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2014-01-28T06:15:12+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/www.legalindia.in\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/supreme-court3-150x99.jpg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Legal India Admin\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Legal India Admin\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.legalindia.com\\\/news\\\/land-acquisition-invalid-compensation-paid-owner-says-sc#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.legalindia.com\\\/news\\\/land-acquisition-invalid-compensation-paid-owner-says-sc\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Legal India Admin\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.legalindia.com\\\/news\\\/#\\\/schema\\\/person\\\/5bed6309aad9141bf373167e6730d0fc\"},\"headline\":\"Land acquisition invalid if compensation not paid to owner, says SC\",\"datePublished\":\"2014-01-28T06:15:12+00:00\",\"mainEntityOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.legalindia.com\\\/news\\\/land-acquisition-invalid-compensation-paid-owner-says-sc\"},\"wordCount\":461,\"commentCount\":0,\"publisher\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.legalindia.com\\\/news\\\/#organization\"},\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.legalindia.com\\\/news\\\/land-acquisition-invalid-compensation-paid-owner-says-sc#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.legalindia.in\\\/news\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2012\\\/04\\\/supreme-court3-150x99.jpg\",\"keywords\":[\"1894 act\",\"1894 Land Acquisition Act\",\"Justice Kurian Joseph\",\"Justice Madan B.
