Right To Relief Lost: Karnataka High Court Dismisses Plea Filed After 44 Yrs Challenging Land Acquisition Proceedings From 1978

The Karnataka High Court ruled that land acquisition proceedings can be challenged under Article 226 of the Constitution if there's no alternative efficacious remedy. The court emphasized that the availability of alternative statutory remedies does not bar the High Court's jurisdiction under Article 226. It held that while judicial review should be exercised cautiously, it remains crucial to prevent injustice and illegality. This decision clarifies the scope of judicial intervention in land acquisition disputes, ensuring access to justice even in cases involving complex administrative actions.
