    Summary of WPA 15687/2025: Champabati Bera v. State of West Bengal The High Court allowed the petitioner's writ petition, holding that the State's possession of the petitioner's land (requisitioned in 1978 without formal acquisition proceedings) violated Article 300-A of the Constitution. Rejecting the State's delay-and-laches defense, the court found the cause of action continuous and the situation shocking to judicial conscience. The court directed the State to initiate fresh acquisition proceedings under the 2013 Land Acquisition Act and complete compensation payment within four months.
