Case Summary: New Reviera CHS Ltd. v. Special Land Acquisition Officer (CA No. 6461-6462/2012) The Supreme Court allowed New Reviera Housing Society's appeal, setting aside the High Court's dismissal on grounds of delay and laches. The Court held that the Society's 2002 writ petition was justified because the Land Acquisition Collector had failed to forward the Society's 1993 application for Section 18 reference to the court for over a decade. The Court directed the Collector to make the reference within three months and requested the Reference Court to expeditiously decide all issues regarding compensation enhancement and apportionment between the Society and the original lessee's legal representatives.
