Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the Rajasthan High Court's decision regarding the land acquisition process under the Rajasthan Land Acquisition Act, 1953, specifically citing Sections 4, 5A, and 6. The Court established that inordinate delay in challenging the notifications under Sections 4 and 6 precludes the appellants from contesting the validity of the acquisition. The Court affirmed the High Court's ruling that the appellants' claims were barred due to this delay, thus dismissing the appeals.
