Writ Jurisdiction | 40-Year Delayed Land Acquisition Challenge Dismissed as Abuse of Process: Bombay HC Imposes Rs. 50,000 Costs for Misrepresentation
Bombay HC dismisses a writ petition filed by an unauthorized attorney after a 40-year delay in challenging a 1982 land acquisition award, holding that litigants cannot raise stale claims decades later. The court imposed Rs. 50,000 costs for misrepresentation and abuse of process, reaffirming that Article 300-A rights must be exercised promptly to avoid judicial dismissal.
