Subordinate courts should, therefore, consider the claims of an Official Receiver
appointed in the district under the Provincial Insolvency Act to appointment as a
Receiver under Order XL of Civil Procedure Code.
C.L. No. 111/R dated 14th November, 1951

Official Receivers are not exempt from personal appearance before the District
Registrar or the Sub-Registrar.
(xvi) Award of compensation on reference U/S 18 of the Land Acquisition Act on
the basis of square foot, square yard or square meter in respect of large
tracts of Agricultural land.
C.L No.20 dated 26 April, 1996
It has come to the notice of the Hon'ble court that the subordinate court while
deciding the references under section 18 of the Land Acquisition Act awards
compensation on the basis of square foot, square yard or square meter even in cases in
which large tracts of agricultural land in Acres or Bighas has been acquired. Such orders
are wrong in principle of law particularly when large extent of land are sought to be
acquired for public purposes.
The attention of the Judicial Officers is drawn to the decision of the Hon'ble Apex
Court reported in A 1 R 1996 SC 531 and JT 1996 (2) SC 37.
I am, therefore, to request you to draw the attention of all the Judicial Officers
posted in Judgeship to follow the principle laid down by the Apex Court in the aforesaid
two cases as referred above while disposing the cases relating to reference under section
18 of the Land Acquisition Act.
