Yes. The notice is legally valid and enforceable. The Government has power to recover its dues as arrears of land revenue for which no period of limitation has been prescribed. However, even for suits filed by or on behalf of Government limitation period is thirty years by virtue of provision contained in Article 112 of the Schedule appended to the Limitation Act, 1963.
