Allahabad HC rejects heirs land plea after 22 years, says state took possession in 1992

The Allahabad high court dismissed a family's land restoration plea filed after twenty-two years. The court found the family had not challenged dispossession within a reasonable time. Proceedings under the Urban Land Ceiling Act were completed in 1992. The family failed to prove possession when the Repeal Act came into force. Unexplained delay meant the plea could not be considered by the court.
