A notification under Section 6 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 was published concerning lands occupied by the appellant, Yusufbhai Noormohmed Nendoliya. The appellant challenged this notification in the High ... Court and sought an interim stay on its implementation. The High Court granted limited relief, restraining the respondent from taking possession of the lands. Meanwhile, the Land Acquisition Officer proceeded to determine compensation under Section 9(1) of the Act. The appellant objected, arguing that the acquisition proceedings lapsed as no award was made within two years after the notification. The High Court rejected this claim, leading to the present appeal.
