RAM PRASAD RAI @ RAM PRASAD SINGH vs STATE OF BIHAR .

The Supreme Court addressed the legality of a writ petition concerning land acquisition under the Land Acquisition Act, 1894. The Court held that the impugned order directing the District Magistrate to oversee road construction on acquired land was premature, as it did not consider the pending challenge to the acquisition itself. The Court directed the Patna High Court to expedite the disposal of the related writ petition, ensuring that any construction directions would follow the resolution of the acquisition dispute.
