Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's dismissal of writ petitions challenging land acquisition proceedings under the Land Acquisition Act, specifically citing Section 4. The Court established that the absence of a 'building scheme' under Section 192 of the Punjab Municipal Act, 1911 does not invalidate the acquisition process, and confirmed that the notification was adequately published as required. Consequently, the appeals were dismissed, affirming the legality of the acquisition process.
