Property and Land Acquisition

*Property and Land Acquisition* - Section 17(3A) of Land Acquisition Act, 1894 came to be introduced into the statute by Act 68 of 1984. It requires the Collector to tender payment of 80 per cent of the compensation estimated by him, obviously and pointedly, to the person interested in compensation for such land, unless the Collector is precluded or prevented from making such payments because of exigencies enumerated in Section 31 of the L.A. Act. In other words, the Collector cannot by way of first recourse deposit the estimated compensation even in the Court to which the filing of a Reference under Section 18 is provided. - Laxmi Devi v. State of Bihar [2015] GCtR 6275 (SC)
