Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court quashed the Notification issued on 23rd July 1981 regarding land acquisition for a Taluk office, holding that the need for the land was no longer justified as the original proposal for a music college was not pursued. The Court emphasized that alternative lands were available for acquisition that were more suitable for the intended public purpose. The ruling established that land acquisition must be based on current necessity and suitability, allowing authorities to seek other lands if needed.
