Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the dismissal of Garg Woollen Pvt. Ltd.'s writ petition challenging the land acquisition under Section 4(1) and Section 17(1) of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894. The Court found that the appellant's factory constructions occurred after the notification under Section 4, thus disqualifying them from compensation for the land. The Court affirmed the High Court's decision, emphasizing that the acquiring body had the authority to develop the land for industrial purposes and that the appellant's claims were not substantiated.
