EXEC.ENGR,JAL NIGAM CENTL STORES DIV,UP vs SURESH NAND JUYAL (D) BY LRS.

The Supreme Court upheld the validity of the land acquisition process under the Land Acquisition Act, specifically Sections 4(1) and 6, ruling that the objections raised by the respondents were duly considered and overruled. The Court found no manifest error in the procedure followed by the Land Acquisition officer, stating that the land had vested in the State free from encumbrances after the award was made. Consequently, the Court allowed the appeal, set aside the High Court's judgment, and restored the notifications under the Act.
