S.A. JALALUDDIN versus BANGALORE DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY AND ANR.

S.A. JALALUDDIN versus BANGALORE DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY AND ANR.

The limitation period prescribed by amendments to the Land Acquisition Act (by the Karnataka Act) does not apply to proceedings under the City of Bangalore Improvement Act, 1945, where such Act provides its own period of limitation (seven years). Therefore, it is impermissible to read the two-year limitation from Land Acquisition Act into the Improvement Act, and the acquisition proceedings are not barred by limitation.
