Any person interested who is not satisfied with the award made by the magistrate under section 11 may, by written application to the magistrate, require that the matter be referred by the magistrate for the determination of the Court, whether his objection be to the measurement of the land, the amount of the compensation, the persons to whom it is payable or the apportionment of the compensation among the persons interested.
The application shall state the grounds on which objection to the award is taken: Provided that every such application shall be made —
if the person making it was present or represented before the magistrate at the time when he made his award, within six weeks from the date of the award; or
in other cases, within six weeks of the receipt of the notice for the magistrate under section 12(2), or within six months from the date of the award, whichever period shall first expire.
