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 did not violate Article 14 of the Constitution. The Court found that the State's decision to exempt certain lands was based on valid recommendations and did not constitute discrimination or arbitrariness. Consequently, the appeals were dismissed, affirming the legality of the acquisition process as per Sections 4, 5A, and 6 of the Act.
