Delay bars re-determination of land acquisition compensation under RFCTLARR Act, 2013 | Madras HC (Madurai Bench)

Applicants seeking fresh compensation for land acquired under the National Highways project were denied because the court held that the statutory limitation period under the RFCTLARR Act, 2013, had expired, invoking the fence-sitter doctrine. The ruling confirms that delayed claims for re-determination are barred, affecting all land-acquisition claimants.
