Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court held that the respondent was a 'person interested' under Section 3(b) of the Land Acquisition Act, as he had a sale certificate for the land and the Collector acknowledged his interest. The Court found the notification under Section 6 invalid due to non-compliance with Rule 4 of the Land Acquisition (Companies) Rules, 1963, which is mandatory when acquiring land for a company. Consequently, the High Court's ruling was upheld, emphasizing the necessity of following procedural requirements in land acquisition.
