STATE OF MYSORE vs ABDUL RAZAK SAHIB

The Supreme Court held that under Section 4 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, the publication of a notification in the official gazette must be accompanied by or immediately followed by public notice in the locality. The Court emphasized that without such local publication, interested persons are deprived of their right to file objections under Section 5A, which is a valuable right. The Court upheld the High Court's decision to quash the notification due to non-compliance with the mandatory requirement of local notice, thus affirming the High Court's ruling.
