Judgment text as reported

Mst. Nighat Parveen VS NHA Ss.9 & 25---Rate of compensation---Limitation on award beyond claimed amount---Applicability---Whether rate of compensation can be enhanced beyond the amount claimed by the appellants in the reference application and to what extent---Section 25 of the Act, 1894 reflects that it sets a condition precedent to the limit of the compensation that could be awarded, where claim is made or not made pursuant to a notice given under S.9 of the Act, 1894---A careful reading of both provisions reveals that S.25 cannot be pressed into service unless the statutory obligations under S.9 are fully satisfied---Section 9 mandates the issuance of public notice and personal service of individual notices to all persons known or believed to be interested in the land being acquired --- Such notices must provide a clear opportunity for the affected persons to file compensation claims, raise objections, and assert their interests within the stipulated timeframe.
