State of Bihar and others (AIR 2003 S.C. 3817), I had found that the last date of publication of the notification under Section 4(1) for the purpose of determining whether a declaration under Section 6 is time-barred is the last date of publication in the gazette, in the news paper or the date of giving of public notice in the locality. Following that judgment, this Writ Petition is liable to be dismissed. It is accordingly dismissed. srd PIUS C.KURIAKOSE, JUDGE
