SUBHASHGIR KHUSHALGIR GOSAVI vs SPECIAL LAND ACQN. OFFICER

The Supreme Court upheld the notification issued under Section 4(1) of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, for acquiring land for the extension of a bus stand in Pandharpur, ruling that such acquisition serves a public purpose and is not arbitrary. The Court clarified that it is not within its purview to question the government's decision regarding the location of public facilities, even if there are concerns about congestion. The appeal against the Bombay High Court's dismissal of the writ petition was dismissed, affirming the legality of the acquisition.
