Mr. Satish Kumar, AOR For Respondent(s) : UPON hearing the counsel the Court made the following O R D E R 1. Delay condoned. 2. We have heard learned counsel for the petitioner at a considerable length. 3. In view of the fact that the petitioner’s land has already been utilized for the public purpose for which it was acquired, 1
namely, the construction of Commercial Tax Check-Posts, it is difficult to accept the petitioner’s prayer for de-notifying the acquired land under Section 48 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 (since repealed). 4. Consequently, the Special Leave Petition, to this extent, is dismissed. 5. However, if the petitioner could not file appeal before the High Court for enhancement of compensation on account of pendency of the subject-proceedings, she may file the appeal along with an application for condonation of delay. The High Court may consider such prayer sympathetically and in accordance with law. 6. All pending applications, if any, also stand disposed of. (ARJUN BISHT) (PREETHI T.C.) ASTT.
