S.H.RANGAPPA vs STATE OF KARNATAKA

The Supreme Court held that the notification under Section 6(1) of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 does not require publication within one year of the Section 4 notification, as the Act does not specify a limitation period for publication. The Court affirmed that the declaration made on 22nd February 1989 was valid since it was issued within the prescribed time frame, thus upholding the legality of the land acquisition process. The appeal challenging the notification was dismissed.
