Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that an application under Section 28A of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, for redetermination of compensation must be filed within three months from the date of the award of the Reference Court, not from the judgment of the High Court or Supreme Court under Section 54. The Court clarified that the term 'court' in Section 28A refers specifically to the Reference Court and not appellate courts, thereby denying the appellant's request for redetermination based on the appellate judgment. The appeal was dismissed accordingly.
