UNION OF INDIA vs KRISHAN LAL ARNEJA .

The Supreme Court examined the validity of acquisition proceedings under Section 4 and Section 17(1)&(4) of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, which were challenged by the appellants following earlier judgments in Banwari Lal and Sons and Shakuntala Gupta. The Court held that the notification's validity was not vitiated by the non-mentioning of urgency, as subjective satisfaction regarding urgency could be inferred from surrounding circumstances. The appeals were dismissed, affirming the High Court's decision to quash the acquisition proceedings based on precedents that were deemed applicable.
