What is this about?
The petitioner sought a writ declaring acquisition proceedings lapsed under the 2013 Land Acquisition Act for land in Dwarka Vihar, an unauthorized colony. The High Court dismissed the petition, holding that unlike previous grants of relief, the land formed part of an unauthorized colony, distinguishing the case from Parshotam Joshi and relying on Mool Chand.
What did the court decide?
Prayer for declaration that acquisition proceedings have lapsed was dismissed. Pending application dismissed. Interim order vacated.
