Summary of SLP(C) No. 012251/2013 - Mallappa v. Addl. Special Land Acquisition Officer The Supreme Court heard Mallappa's petition challenging the Karnataka High Court's dismissal of his appeal due to 1314 days delay in filing under Section 54 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894. The Court found that a similar High Court bench had previously condoned a much longer delay (3395 days) on the condition of undertaking not to claim interest, but this precedent was not placed before the bench that dismissed Mallappa's appeal. The Court granted liberty to file a review petition before the High Court citing the earlier precedent, with the option to return to the Supreme Court if the review is declined.
