2015 (7) TMI 21 - SC - Indian LawsCondonation of delay in appeal by more than 10 years - Appeal under Section 54 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 - Some other persons filed appeal in time and also got a higher compensation - Held that:- In State of Karnataka & Ors. v. S.M. Kotrayya & Ors. [1996 (9) TMI 603 - SUPREME COURT] , this Court rejected the contention that a petition should be considered ignoring the delay and laches on the ground that he filed the petition just after coming to know of the relief granted by the Court in a similar case as the same cannot furnish a proper explanation for delay and laches. The Court observed that such a plea is wholly unjustified and cannot furnish any ground for ignoring delay and laches. Same view has been reiterated by this Court in Jagdish Lal & Ors. v. State of Haryana & Ors. [1997 (5) TMI 423 - SUPREME COURT]. In M/s. Rup Diamonds & Ors. v. Union of India & Ors.[1989 (1) TMI 217 - SUPREME COURT OF INDIA], this Court considered a case where petitioner wanted to get the relief on the basis of the judgment of this Court wherein a particular law had been declared ultra vires. The Court rejected the petition on the ground of delay and laches. - Decided against the appellants.
