Fulchand Bhagwandas Gugale And Anr vs State Of Maharashtra And Ors

The Supreme Court addressed appeals concerning land acquisition under the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, specifically Section 4 and Section 5A. The Court held that the objections raised by the appellants regarding the mala fides of the Agricultural Produce Market Committee were valid, as the demand for additional land was not genuine. Consequently, the Court upheld the order of the Sub-Divisional Officer cancelling the notification under Section 4, thereby favoring the appellants' claim against the acquisition process initiated by the Committee.
