D. Jayaraman v. the Government of Tamilnadu
Case brief
What is this about?
The Court dismissed writ appeals challenging the Section 4(1) notification of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894. Relying on precedents concerning delay and finality of acquisition awards, the bench held that filing appeals years after the passing of the Award was legally unsustainable despite earlier related litigation.
What did the court decide?
The writ appeals and connected miscellaneous petitions are dismissed; no order as to costs.
