    Case Summary: WP/2297/2026 (Note: Document shows WP/14988/2026) The Bombay High Court dismissed the Shree Kedareshwar Mahadeo Temple Trust's petition challenging a 1972 land acquisition declaration for a 7094 sq.m. property in Lower Parel, Mumbai. The court found the petition lacked merit because possession was taken on 30 December 1992 and compensation was deposited in court on 17 December 1992, negating the trust's claims that no notice was served or possession taken. The court rejected the argument that the acquisition lapsed under Section 24(2) of the 2013 Act, applying Supreme Court precedent requiring both conditions—no possession AND no compensation—to prove lapsing. The court also found the trust suppressed facts evident in an earlier related petition, dismissing it without notice. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
