Lajja Ram & Ors vs Union Territory, Chandigarh & Ors

The Supreme Court examined the dismissal of Civil Writ Petition No. 14018 of 2008 by the High Court of Punjab and Haryana, which challenged notifications under Sections 4 and 6 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894. The Court held that the delay in approaching the Writ Court was significant, rendering the petition untenable, and that the appellants could not contest the notifications post-award by the Land Acquisition Officer. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed, affirming the High Court's decision.
