Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the State Government's notification under Section 4 for the acquisition of land was valid despite an initial error in naming the village, as a corrigendum was issued correcting the mistake. The Court found that 0.91 acres of land from plot No. 2611 in village Kashai was indeed notified for acquisition, thus overturning the High Court's injunction against the State. The Court directed the appellant to pay Rs. 5,000 as costs to the respondents, acknowledging the negligence of the State Government.
