SUBE SINGH vs STATE OF HARYANA .

The Supreme Court upheld the Punjab and Haryana High Court's decision regarding the validity of notifications under the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, specifically Sections 4, 5A, and 6. The Court found that the appellants' objections concerning non-compliance with mandatory provisions and denial of personal hearing were not substantiated, leading to the dismissal of six writ petitions. However, it affirmed the quashing of notifications for two writ petitions where the High Court found merit in the claims of the petitioners regarding the presence of structures on the land, thus establishing that compliance with procedural safeguards is essential in land acquisition proceedings.
