Allahabad HC dismisses 22-year-old land plea, cites state possession since 1992

The Allahabad High Court has rejected a family's petition seeking restoration of land that was taken over by the state under the Urban Land Ceiling Act in 1992. The court noted that the family waited 22 years before challenging their dispossession, without providing any explanation for the prolonged delay. Proceedings under the Urban Land Ceiling Act had been completed as far back as 1992, firmly establishing state possession. The family also failed to demonstrate that they were in possession of the land when the Repeal Act came into effect. Given the unexplained and unreasonable delay, the court ruled that the plea could not be entertained.
