Swasthya Raksha Samiti Rati Chowk vs Chaudhary Ram Harakh Chand (D) By Lrs. & ...

The Supreme Court addressed the nature of enquiry under Rule 4(2)(iii) of the Land Acquisition (Company) Rules, 1963, holding that while the enquiry is mandatory, notice to land owners is not required as they can raise objections during the Section 5A enquiry under the Land Acquisition Act. The Court distinguished previous judgments, emphasizing that the objections relevant to Rule 4 can be adequately addressed in the Section 5A enquiry, thus avoiding duplication and delay. The matter was referred to a larger bench for further clarification.
