MEWA RAM (DECEASED) BY HIS L.RS. AND ORS. vs STATE OF HARYANA THROUGH THE LANDACQUISITION COLLECTOR, GUR

The Supreme Court dismissed the special leave petitions for enhancement of compensation under the Land Acquisition Act, citing that the petitions were barred by time and that Section 28A did not apply to the petitioners, who were not part of the intended beneficiary class. The Court held that the petitioners had previously accepted compensation amounts and failed to demonstrate sufficient cause for condonation of delay under Section 5 of the Limitation Act, 1963. The judgment distinguished the case from Madras Port Trust v. Hymanshu International, emphasizing the finality of awards under the Act.
