Honourable Supreme Court interpreting the section 20D of the Railways Act, 1989\u00a0\u00a0 has held that right of hearing of objections is mandatory and substantive right and must be strictly followed \u00a0and non compliance with the same would invalidate acquisition proceedings. Court also observed that in \u00a0administrative or executive function \u00a0communication 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 . \u00a0\u00a0( CA No. 6270 of 2019 dt .13 -8 -2019)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
