The notification under Section 4 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 (for brevity 'the Act') was issued on 31.1.1992 and declaration under Section 6 of the Act was made on 29.1.1993. Even the award was announced on 10.9.1998. There is unexplained delay in challenging the aforesaid notifications. Even a suit would not be competent after expiry of three years from the date when cause of action has arisen which is the outer limit for filing a writ petition (State of Madhya Pradesh v. Bhai Lal Bhai AIR 1964 SC 1006). Therefore, this writ petition cannot be entertained. Dismissed. (M.M.KUMAR) JUDGE (SABINA) JUDGE July 01, 2008 paramjit
