Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the dismissal of writ petitions challenging land acquisition proceedings under the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, asserting that the acquisition was not arbitrary or discriminatory, thus not violating Article 14 of the Constitution. The Court emphasized that the State's decision to exempt certain lands while acquiring others was based on valid recommendations and did not constitute a violation of fundamental rights. Consequently, the appeals were dismissed, affirming the High Court's ruling.
