The Land Acquisition Act, 1894  - Section 11 , Section 18 , Section 24

Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013 - Section 24(2) - Land acquisition proceedings initiated under the 1894 Act, by legal fiction, are deemed to have lapsed where award has been made five years or more prior to the commencement of 2013 Act and possession of the land is not taken or compensation has not been paid. The legal fiction under Section 24(2) comes into operation as soon as conditions stated therein are satisfied. The applicability of Section 6 of the General Clauses Act being subject to Section 24(2), there is no merit in the contention of the Corporation.
