Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal against the Gujarat High Court's order rejecting the appellant's petition under Article 226 of the Constitution. The appellant challenged the land acquisition under the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, specifically citing Section 4 regarding the public purpose of the acquisition. The Court held that the appellant's objections were not substantiated, and the legislative competence of the Gujarat Industrial Development Corporation Act, 1962, was upheld, referencing the precedent set in Ramtanu C. H. Society v. State of Maharashtra.
