Short Note : The point which the learned Government Advocate pressed was that the notice under section 80 CPC was invalid as the date of cause of action shown in the plaint was 20th March 1973, on which date the State Government had issued advertisement for sale of land by public auction in separate lots in April 1973, whereas the date in the notice referred to a contemplated sale on. 6-9-1972. The discrepancy, the counsel said, was fatal. 2. Held : Notice in the present case has sufficiently and substantially stated the cause of action. What was needed to be stated was that the sale held by the Revenue Authorities on 16-4-1963 was void for reasons assigned and that the, plaintiff was entitled, to ignore it, and that the State could not treat the lands as having vested in them for purposes of allotment to others. This the notice had fully mentioned. It was immaterial on which date the State proposed to allot the land to third person. The relief which the plaintiff proposed to seek from the Court was, any injunction restraining the State from treating the land as if vested in them and from allotting to others, whether on the date the public auction was advertised for, or any other future date. It would be absured to contend that the plaintiff ought to give notice on every occasion the sale, was proposed when on the very first occasion he informed the State that they should desist from putting his lands to sale., State of Madras v. C.P. Agencies, AIR 1960 SC 1309 relied on. Appeal dismissed.
