THE JALANDHAR IMPROVEMENT TRUST vs THE STATE OF PUNJAB .

The appellant, Jalandhar Improvement Trust, challenged a High Court order dismissing a writ petition against the Land Acquisition Collector's order under Section 28A of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894. The central issue concerns the validity of claims for enhanced compensation and the addition of legal heirs as petitioners in a reference case under Section 18. The Land Acquisition Tribunal had previously held that the 4th respondent's claim was barred by limitation as it was not made within the stipulated timeframe.
