GIRRAJ SINGH vs STATE OF U.P. . — SLP(C) No. 14329/2007

Summary of SLP(C) No. 14329/2007 (Girraj Singh v. State of U.P.) The Supreme Court disposed of this Special Leave Petition (heard on 11/11/2013 alongside 32 related petitions) concerning a land acquisition notification dated 29.8.2006. The State of U.P.'s senior counsel clarified that the State would not pursue emergency powers under Sections 17(1) and 17(4) of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, and agreed to treat the notification as a standard acquisition under Section 4(1). The Court accepted this fair submission and directed that petitioners now have the right to file objections under Section 5A of the Act, with notice to be published in two local newspapers. Delay was condoned and the petitions were disposed of accordingly. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
