RAI BAHADUR GANGA BISHNU SWAIKA & ORS. vs CALCUTTA PINJRAPOLE SOCIETY & ORS.

The Supreme Court held that under Section 6 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, the declaration of land acquisition does not need to explicitly state the Government's satisfaction regarding the necessity for acquisition. The Court clarified that the phrase 'it appears to the Governor' is sufficient and does not invalidate the declaration. The Court upheld the validity of the declaration despite the High Court's ruling, emphasizing that satisfaction is a condition precedent but need not be articulated in the declaration itself.
