In Brief
Multiple land holders from villages in Haryana challenged a High Court order regarding a land acquisition matter through special leave petitions filed with considerable delay. The Supreme Court decided to condone the delay given the circumstances. Rather than rehearing the merits, the Court applied its earlier judgment in Wazir v. State of Haryana to all these petitions, directing that all land holders from the concerned villages be governed uniformly by that judgment's directions. The petitions were accordingly disposed of.
