MARKET COMMITEE HODAL vs KRISHAN MURARI .

The Supreme Court condoned a delay of 3240 days in filing a Special Leave Petition (S.L.P.) due to a justifiable explanation regarding the inaction of the Central Agency. The Court held that the High Court's interference with the government's power under Section 17(4) of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, was unjustified, as the lands had vested in the government free from encumbrances. The Court directed an enquiry by the District Judge to determine the timing of the construction of an oil mill by the respondents, establishing that compensation may be owed depending on when the construction occurred relative to the High Court's judgment.
