M.N. Chandurkar, C.J. 1. The only question raised in the app eal, which is directed against the order of the learned single Judge is whether, the delay in the publication of the substance of the notification under S. 4(l) of the Land Acquisition Act, vitiates the proceedings for acquisition of land.
