Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court held that the Bombay High Court's dismissal of the writ petition was unsatisfactory as it failed to provide reasons for rejecting the case, particularly regarding the alleged bar of limitation under Section 6 of the Land Acquisition Act. The Court emphasized the necessity of giving reasons to minimize arbitrariness in judicial decisions. Consequently, the Supreme Court set aside the High Court's order and remanded the case for fresh disposal, maintaining the status quo regarding possession until the writ petition is resolved.
