¶35

The review petitioner contends that the decision of the learned Single Judge which was subject matter of appeal in Writ Appeal No.1420/2024 (LA-KIADB) is erroneous as the challenge to the acquisition could not have been disposed of on the ground of delay.

¶36

The learned counsel appearing for the review petitioner submits that the delay is required to be considered in the context of the delay on the part of the acquiring authorities as well. It is apparent that the review petitioner seeks to reargue the writ appeal. We find no ground to allow the same. The review petition is, accordingly, dismissed.
