Tata Communication Ltd vs Santosh Babanrao Walke & Ors

The Supreme Court set aside the Bombay High Court's interim order restraining the State Government and Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited from constructing on land acquired in 1925 under the Land Acquisition Act, 1894. The Court found no justification for the restraint given the 85-year delay in filing the public interest litigation and emphasized that any compensation claims should be addressed according to law. The Court directed the High Court to expedite the disposal of the writ petition.
