LAW FOR ALL

Land Acquisition - Sec.4 notifications - Sec.5 A objections - not considered award was passed - other claimants under same notification filed writs - allowed - pending in Apex court no stay - no possession was taken despite of passing of award - all slps were dismissed - Apex court held that A large number of cases filed before this court and particularly SLP (C) Nos. 208, 211 & 212 of 2008 stood dismissed vide order dated 10.12.2008, as the petitioners did not take steps to serve the respondents therein as is evident from the Office Report dated 25.6.2013. In such a fact scenario, where in respect of major chunk of land, the land acquisition proceedings had been quashed long back and which has attained finality, it is beyond our comprehension as to whether the scheme of planned development of Delhi can be executed at such a belated stage in view of the fact that vacant land in continuous stretch may not be available. In view of above, we do not see any force in these appeals even on merit and the same are liable to be dismissed. = Union of India & Ors. ` …. Appellants Versus Shiv Raj & Ors. ….
