Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the dismissal of the appellant's writ petition regarding the acquisition of land under the Land Acquisition Act, specifically Section 4(1) and Section 6. The Court found that the land was necessary for public purpose, including the establishment of a school, but emphasized the need for a buffer zone to mitigate pollution from the adjacent national highway. The Court held that the land should not be denotified from acquisition as it serves a greater public interest, thereby affirming the High Court's decision.
