The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision affirming the Collector's award under the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, specifically Sections 11 and 11A, stating that the award was valid as it was signed and sent for approval within the statutory period, despite a stay order. The Court clarified that the approval by the Government, which occurred after the stay was lifted, was deemed timely as it fell within the two-year limit from the last publication under Section 6. The appeals were dismissed, confirming the legality of the award process followed by the Collector.
