Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision to quash notifications issued under Section 4 and Section 6 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, regarding Scheme No. 78 by the Indore Development Authority. The Court found that the objections raised by the petitioners were not properly considered due to the transition from the Improvement Trust to the Development Authority as per the Madhya Pradesh Nagar Tatha Gram Nivesh Adhiniyam, 1973. The Court emphasized the importance of adhering to statutory procedures in land acquisition matters, leading to the annulment of the notifications and restoration of the petitioners' rights.
