Judgment text excerpt
The Karnataka High Court held that the power of the writ court under Article 226 of the Constitution cannot be exercised to correct errors in the absence of a specific challenge to a notification under Section 48(1) of the Land Acquisition Act. The Division Bench set aside the Single Judge's order that declared the de-notification dated 05.10.1999 as non est, affirming that the lack of challenge to the de-notification precluded its invalidation. The court emphasized that the de-notification remained valid as it was not specifically contested.
