HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT ALLAHABAD WRIT - C No. - 36580 of 2025 Court No. - 29 HON'BLE SIDDHARTHA VARMA, J. HON'BLE KUNAL RAVI SINGH, J. 1. From the record, we find that the acquisition had taken place in the year 1976. 2. Learned counsel for the petitioner has stated that certain lands were taken over without any acquisition. No date of actual taking over of possession of those land has been mentioned anywhere in the writ petition. 3. Learned Standing Counsel submits that if any decision is required to be taken, the same ought to have been taken in the initial year itself. In this regard, he relied upon a judgment of the Hon’ble Supreme Court in Syed Maqbool Ali v. State of U.P. and Another, reported in (2011) 15 SCC 383, and submitted that a very stale and belated claim cannot be entertained by the Court. 4. We do find substance in the submission of the learned Standing Counsel. 5. The writ petition is, accordingly, dismissed.
