Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court disposed of the appeal concerning the acquisition of land in Survey No. 249, stating that since the Railway has abandoned the acquisition proposal, there is no need to proceed further. The Court referenced a prior decision in W.P.No. 1003 of 1982, which allowed the respondents to remain on the land while the Union of India could file a suit to establish title. The Court noted that the appellants' eviction attempts are concluded, and the Government may take steps to implead the respondents in the ongoing suit if necessary.
