UNION OF INDIA TR.LAC(WEST) vs SACHIN GARG — SLP(C) No. 9730/2011

Case Summary: SLP(C) No. 9730/2011 Union of India appealed the Delhi High Court's rejection of its delay condonation plea in a land acquisition dispute over Mundka village property. The Supreme Court dismissed both special leave petitions, upholding the High Court's refusal to condone the 186-day delay in filing appeals under the Land Acquisition Act, 1894. The Court found the government's explanation unsatisfactory and the Reference Court's compensation enhancement (Rs.22,215.71 per acre) too modest to warrant judicial interference. The Court directed listing of related special leave petitions before it in the following week and notified the Delhi High Court's Chief Justice accordingly.
