Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the validity of land acquisition under the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, specifically addressing Section 4(1) regarding the publication of the notification's substance. The Court found that the publication was a matter of fact, confirmed by affidavits stating that objections were raised by landowners. The Court rejected claims that the acquisition was for profiteering, affirming that the purpose was legitimate industrial development, thus dismissing the appeals and upholding the High Court's decision.
