Raghu Laxman Dighe v. the Land Acquisition Officer No. (17), Pune and Anr.
Case brief
What is this about?
We both heard the writ petitions. The land references were filed two days late without any application for condonation of delay. Since the Land Acquisition Act is a special statute where delay cannot be condoned and no provision exists for condonation, the petitions are rejected. Additionally, the court fee was not paid, and there was no application for postponement. The petitions are rejected wit
What did the court decide?
Petitions rejected in limine for delay, laches, non-payment of court fee, and lack of admissible proviso for condonation of delay under the special statute.
