Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal regarding the notifications issued under Sections 4, 5A, and 6 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, holding that the failure to provide a copy of the report under Section 5A does not invalidate the hearing. The Court clarified that a second hearing by the State Government after the report is not necessary and found no inordinate delay in issuing the Section 6 notification, as the appellant did not substantiate claims of delay attributable to the Government. The Court also noted that the public purpose was adequately stated in the notification despite the appellant's objections.
