Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed appeals concerning the Bangalore-Mysore Infrastructure Corridor Project, affirming the Karnataka High Court's directive to continue the project despite challenges. The Court emphasized the necessity of infrastructure development under the Karnataka Land Acquisition Act, 1894, and upheld the government's decision to implement the project on a Build-Own-Operate-Transfer (BOOT) basis. The judgment reinforced the principle that public interest and urban development can justify land acquisition and project execution despite opposition.
