Case History
Case Summary: V.J. Bhadrasingh v. Deputy General Manager, ONGC Outcome: The Supreme Court allowed the appeal and set aside the Gujarat High Court's order condoning a 1,235-day delay in filing an appeal. The Court found ONGC's explanation for the delay to be false and misleading, and dismissed ONGC's appeal as time-barred under the Land Acquisition Act, 1894. Key Issue: Whether the High Court correctly condoned ONGC's extreme delay in challenging a Reference Court judgment that enhanced land rental compensation from Rs. 3.75 to Rs. 12.70 per sq. meter annually. Direction: ONGC must deposit the enhanced compensation in Bhadrasingh's bank account within 2.5 months, with the landowner to provide his account details within six weeks.
