Munithimmaiah Appellant vs State Of Karnataka & Ors. Respondents

The appellant challenged the land acquisition proceedings and the subsequent award passed by the Special Land Acquisition Officer of the Bangalore Development Authority. The Karnataka High Court had previously rejected the writ petition on the grounds that the issue was covered by the precedent set in Khoday Distilleries Limited Vs. State of Karnataka. The Supreme Court examined whether the acquisition proceedings pertaining to the specific survey number were valid under the applicable land acquisition laws.
