Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the quashing of the notification under Section 4(1) of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, by the Madras High Court, which found the notification vague due to the absence of a specific scheme for construction. The Court referenced its previous ruling in State of Tamil Nadu & Anr. vs. A. Mohammed Yousef & Ors. [(1991) 4 SCC 224], affirming that a complete scheme is not necessary prior to notification. The appeal was heard independently due to distinguishing factual circumstances, but the Court ultimately agreed with the High Court's decision to quash the notification.
