Tmt.Dhanalakshmi vs The State Of Tamil Nadu on 23 August, 2013
9.For the sake of convenience, let me take up the objection regarding the maintainability of this writ petition at first. It is the contention of the respondents that this writ petition which was filed in the year 2006 long after passing of the award in the year 1993, is not at all maintainable, in view of the judgment of the Hon'ble Supreme Court in Municipal Council, Ahmednagar v. Shah Hyder Beig, case (cited supra). In the said judgment, the Hon'ble Supreme Court has held that long after the award had been passed in the land acquisition proceedings and compensation had been made over to the requiring authority, a writ petition challenging the notices issued under Sections 4 and 6 of the Act was not maintainable. Referring to the said judgment, the learned Special Government Pleader would submit that in this case, though the award was passed on 18.06.1993, the present writ petition came to be filed only on 02.01.2006.
