Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court held that the provisions of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, specifically Sections 4, 6, and 9, create a complete code for land acquisition, thereby excluding the jurisdiction of civil courts to question the validity of notifications under Sections 4 and 6. The Court affirmed that the State's power to acquire land for public purposes is conclusive once the statutory requirements are met, and civil suits seeking injunctions against dispossession are not maintainable. The appeal was allowed, and the High Court's order was set aside.
