Siddartha v. Union of India
Case brief
What is this about?
This High Court rejected a writ petition seeking employment under a land loser policy. The Court held that although the policy appears to grant employment to each family owning a portion of acquired land, the petitioner's prayer must be dismissed due to excessive delay in approaching the court.
What did the court decide?
None. The petition was rejected on the ground of delay.
