STATE OF KERALA vs M M ABDUL KHADER

The Supreme Court held that claimants are not entitled to the additional amount under Section 23(1-A) of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, as the award of the Collector was dated April 21, 1980, which is outside the applicable timeframe for such claims. The Court set aside the High Court's order and allowed the appeal, emphasizing the statutory limitations on entitlement to additional compensation. The ruling clarifies the interpretation of entitlement under the Land Acquisition Act.
