Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court dismissed the Special Leave Petition, affirming that an agreement of sale does not confer title to property under Section 53-A of the Transfer of Property Act. The Court held that since the agreement was made after the notification under Section 4(1) of the Land Acquisition Act, the government is not bound by it, and the rightful owner, as per the notification, is entitled to compensation. The Court found no illegality in the lower courts' decisions, allowing the petitioner to pursue any claims under Section 30 of the Land Acquisition Act.
