Mandir Shree Sitaramji Alias Shree ... vs Land Acquisition Collector & Ors

The Supreme Court addressed the validity of land acquisition proceedings under the Land Acquisition Act, specifically examining compliance with Sections 39, 40, and 41. The Court held that the acquisition for 'planned development of Delhi' was questionable as it appeared to benefit a cooperative society without proper adherence to statutory requirements. The appeal was allowed, and the acquisition was set aside due to non-compliance with the necessary provisions of the Act, reaffirming the need for due process in land acquisition matters.
