Land acquisition Act - Old Act -vs- New Act - except file note , No award was passed nor communicated as on 31-12-2013 - mere noting file on 23-12-2013 with out communicating the same to the claimant as late as 31-12-2013 can not be considered as AWARD - Hence as per sec.24 of New Act a fresh award is to be passed and as such the alleged award said to be passed and communicated after one year is set aside - 2015 Telangana & A.P. msklawreports


What is the meaning of words making of an award in
Section 24 (1) of Act 30 of 2013 and effect of non-
communication of award before 31.12.2013?

While interpreting a transitory provision, the said ratio does not
assist the respondents.
The file noting on 23.12.2013 cannot be
treated as an award made under Section 11 of Act 1 of 1894 as it is
not communicated as late as 31.12.2014.

      Further, Section 12(2) of Act 1 of 1894 mandates expeditious
communication of award.  So, to continue proceedings under Act 1
of 1894, the communication of award is necessary.  Unless and until
the rights are crystallized and accrued, the same cannot be put
against a party. Therefore, the communication of award dated
23.12.2013  through notice dated 31.12.2014 under Section 12(2) of
Act 1 of 1894, is illegal and contrary to Section 24 (1) of Act 30 of
2013.  The same is liable to be set aside and is accordingly set aside.
Consequently, it is further held that the determination of
compensation is under Act 30 of 2013 by passing a fresh award.- 2015 Telangana & A.P. msklawreports

Court fee - Sec.34 of A.P.C.F & S.V.Act - partition of Plaints-A and B-Schedule properties, in the manner pleaded by her, and for grant of future profits. Plaint-A Schedule comprised of, four items of immovable properties, and Plaint-B Schedule comprised of, nine items of jewellery. Pleading that the parties are in joint possession of the said properties, the petitioner paid Court-fee of Rs. 200/- under Sub-section (2) of Section 34 of the A.P. Court Fees and Suits Valuation Act, 1956 (for short 'the Act'). The trial Court returned the plaint, through its order dated 23-6-2006, directing the petitioner herein, to pay Court fee on movable properties, on her shares, as per the Act, within the time stipulated by it.= In the instant case, the petitioner asserted that, herself and the respondents are in joint possession of the Plaints-A and B-Schedule properties. In a way, the trial Court was satisfied, that the immovable properties mentioned in Plaint-A schedule are in joint possession, and in that view of the matter, it did not insist on payment of ad-valorem Court-fee, on such items. It, however, took a different view, as regards the movable properties. Neither from the plaint, nor from the endorsement made by the trial Court, it is found that there is any distinction, as to the nature of rights claimed, in respect of Plaint-A Schedule properties, on the one hand, and Plaint-B schedule properties, on the other hand. In fact, the nature and incidence of possession, of an immovable property, gives rise to, relatively greater consequences of law, than the possession of an item of movable property. The possession of an item of immovable property can be said to be more assertive, firm and lasting, than the one, of movable property. The endorsement made by the trial Court cannot be sustained, either on law, or on facts. 2015 A.P.(2006)MSKLAWREPORTS
