TULSI CO-OP. HOUSING SOCIETY vs STATE OF A.P. .

The Supreme Court addressed the legality of land acquisition proceedings initiated under the Land Acquisition Act, specifically citing Section 4(1) and Section 17(4). The Court held that the urgency clause was improperly invoked, leading to the quashing of the acquisition proceedings. The judgment emphasized the necessity of adhering to statutory requirements, particularly the need for a proper inquiry under Section 5A, thereby reinforcing the legal principle that due process must be followed in land acquisition matters.
