Section 18 Land Acquisition Act | Limitation Period for Compensation Challenge Begins Only Upon Actual Award Communication : MP HC Jabalpur
The Madhya Pradesh High Court ruled that the limitation period under Section 18 of the Land Acquisition Act for challenging compensation begins only when the award is actually communicated to the landowner, not from its issuance date. This holding ensures procedural fairness and prevents landowners from being barred from claims due to administrative delays in communication.
