Honourable Supreme Court interpreting the section 20D of the Railways Act, 1989   has held that right of hearing of objections is mandatory and substantive right and must be strictly followed  and non compliance with the same would invalidate acquisition proceedings. Court also observed that in  administrative or executive function  communication of the Government orders are mandatory , merely writing something on the file does not amount to an order , until the order is communicated to the person affected, it cannot be regarded as anything more than being provisional in character .   ( CA No. 6270 of 2019 dt .13 -8 -2019)
