On the facts, the notice was valid, no effective acquisition steps were taken within time, and the reservation lapsed. The Court also found no clear waiver, abandonment, estoppel, or disabling delay and laches, because the conduct relied on did not amount to intentional relinquishment and the later delay did not validate an acquisition lacking legal foundation. en-us Tue, 24 Nov 1987 00:00:00 +0530 Fri, 15 Jul 2016 17:00:22 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=184662 Under section 127 of the Maharashtra Regional & Town Planning Act, 1966, a valid purchase notice triggers a six-month period for the Planning Authority to commence acquisition steps, and the Authority cannot postpone that period by demanding unnecessary particulars or by probing title where validity is otherwise ascertainable.
