UPON hearing the counsel the Court made the following O R D E R

Heard learned senior counsel appearing for the parties.

We have already passed an order to club all the similar matters wherein the same question of law has been raised. The issue is with respect to the period of limitation which is to be applied in the teeth of the proviso to Section 74 of the new Land Acquisition Act, 2013 (hereinafter referred to as 'the New Act') in juxtaposition to Section 54 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Old Act').

In other words, for an acquisition to be made under the old Act, the provision of the new Act would be applicable with specific reference to the period of limitation prescribed thereunder. The incidental issue is on the application of Section 5 of the Limitation Act.

3

The letter of the Central Government dated 16.10.2015 also requires a definite interpretation. Additionally, Section 24(1)(a) of the New Act also requires consideration.

As the said issues would involve a substantial implication on revenue, we would like to have the assistance of learned Attorney General for India or learned Additional Solicitor General of India (ASG).

Issue notice to the offices of the learned Attorney General and the learned ASG.

The Registry is directed to furnish copies of the petitions to both the learned Attorney General and learned ASG.

Learned counsel appearing for both parties are directed to serve papers to the office of the learned and Attorney General and learned ASG, after duly informing them of the order passed by us today.

List on 25.02.2025.

In the meantime, pleadings are to be completed.
