The apex court bench of Justice G.S. Singhvi and Justice H.L. Dattu, while allowing the petition by Devender Kumar Tyagi and others, said that “we hold that the declaration of notification dated Dec 18, 2006, is beyond the period of limitation as envisaged by the provision of the Land Acquisition Act”.
