Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's ruling that land acquisition proceedings for 30 ares of land (Survey No. 187/3A) had lapsed due to non-compliance with Section 11A of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, which mandates that an award must be made within two years of the final notification under Section 6. The Court clarified that the failure to pass the award within the stipulated period resulted in the lapse of the acquisition proceedings. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the High Court's decision regarding the lapsed proceedings for the specified land.
