5 7.7.2011 Heard the parties.

It may be true that petitioner did not know

that 1.8 acres of land belonging to his great grandfather

was acquired for the Railways in the year 1952 but his

action in challenging the legality of an acquisition

made in the year 1952 through a writ petition filed in

the year 2008 on the ground that paper publication may

not have been done properly is too much a belated

challenge and the Writ Court rightly dismissed the writ

petition. It is admitted that the Railways have utilized

the land by making constructions as per their need.

We are not persuaded to interfere in the

matter. The appeal is dismissed.
