MIRZA MAJID HUSSAIN vs STATE OF M.P. & ANR.

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's dismissal of a writ petition filed after an inordinate delay of over 10 years from the Land Acquisition Collector's order, citing Article 226 and Section 115 CPC. The Court found that the District Judge's order rejecting the revision was a nullity due to lack of jurisdiction, as the amendment to Section 18 of the Land Acquisition Act required such matters to be addressed by the High Court. The Court concluded that the delay in seeking relief was unjustified and did not warrant interference under Article 136.
