Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court dismissed the special leave petition filed by the original landowners challenging the High Court's order that enhanced compensation for land acquisition. The court noted a significant delay of approximately six years in filing the petition without sufficient cause, referencing the precedent set in Baljeet Singh v. State of U.P. to support its decision. Consequently, the petition was dismissed on the grounds of delay.
