In Brief
A plantation company leased land from a private owner. The State subsequently notified the same land under the Wildlife Protection Act. The company sued for damages. The High Court dismissed the suit, finding it time-barred and without merit. The Supreme Court upheld this dismissal, holding that the company had no enforceable rights over the land, and the State's actions complied with statutory procedures including proper notice and publication requirements. The suit was properly dismissed on both limitation and merits grounds.
