The Land Acquisition Act 1894 | Case Reference

The Land Acquisition Act 1894

Section 16, 11 

A careful reading of section 16 indicates that where the collector has made an award under Section 11 in respect of land acquired under this Act such land shall vest absolutely in the Government free from all encumbrances. Thus, vesting title in the land acquired becomes absolute as soon as compensation award is made. If the Government after making compensation award does not elect to go physically into possession of land, it cannot be said that because of that title does not vest absolutely in the government. According to Section 16 vesting is absolute as soon as commendation award is made. These submissions were never made at any stage in disposing of the title Suit No. 176 of 1984. The petitioner is now making out a third case with completely now facts which cannot be considered and decided in review. Muijibul Haque vs 1. Lokinan Mia (Mainur Reza Chowdhury J)(Civl). I ADC 431
