Judgment text excerpt
The case concerns a challenge to notifications issued under Sections 4(1) and 6(1) of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, for the acquisition of land for a Co-operative Housing Society. The High Court of Karnataka's Division Bench had quashed the acquisition proceedings and the Section 4 notification, subject to the landowners depositing the received compensation with interest. The Supreme Court was called upon to review the legality of the acquisition process and the subsequent quashing of the notifications.
