On the facts, the Section 4(1) challenge failed because the notification was duly published and no illegality, non-public purpose, or mala fides was shown. By contrast, the extraordinary power under Sections 17(1) and 17(4) to dispense with the Section 5A inquiry requires contemporaneous material demonstrating real urgency; bare assertions or later affidavits cannot justify exclusion of objections. The urgency dispensation was therefore held unsustainable. en-us Fri, 25 Aug 2006 00:00:00 +0530 Thu, 07 Feb 2019 18:35:28 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=278500 Section 4 notifications under the Land Acquisition Act are ordinarily only proposals, but they remain open to judicial review where the publication is procedurally defective, per se illegal, or tainted by mala fides or colourable exercise of power.
