NIADAR AND ORS. ETC. ETC vs STATE OF HARYANA AND ANR. ETC. ETC.

The Supreme Court addressed appeals under Section 54 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, determining that such appeals must be accompanied by a certificate from the High Court confirming the presence of substantial questions of law. The Court clarified that without this certificate, the appeals could not be treated as valid under Section 54 and would instead be considered as special leave petitions under Article 136 of the Constitution of India. The ruling emphasizes the procedural requirements for appeals in land acquisition matters, reinforcing the necessity of High Court certification for substantial legal questions.
