Sube Singh & Ors vs State Of Haryana & Ors

The Supreme Court upheld the Punjab and Haryana High Court's decision regarding the validity of notifications issued under the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, specifically Sections 4, 5A, and 6. The Court found that the appellants were denied a reasonable opportunity of hearing as mandated by Section 5A, leading to the quashing of the notification for certain petitioners. The Court emphasized the necessity of compliance with procedural requirements in land acquisition, affirming the principle that land with existing structures should be excluded from acquisition unless justified otherwise.
