The Gazette publication was treated as the operative publication, and the urgency power was held valid despite incomplete newspaper and locality notices. A later Section 6 publication, made after an earlier declaration had been quashed, was held to have no legal effect once the original declaration was restored and possession had already been taken, because the land had vested in the State. en-us Thu, 07 Nov 1996 00:00:00 +0530 Mon, 25 May 2026 10:24:20 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=176463 In urgency acquisitions under the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, Section 17(4) was interpreted to require only that the Section 6 declaration follow publication of the Section 4(1) notification by at least one day; completion of all three Section 4(1) publication modes was not treated as a condition precedent for urgency action.
