Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the issue of land acquisition under the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, specifically referencing Section 4(1). The Court held that the appellants, having successfully quashed the acquisition notification, were entitled to a 'No Objection Certificate' for the entire 0.81 acres of land, despite previous errors in measurement. The Court emphasized the importance of substantial justice over technicalities, ultimately allowing the appellants' claim for the certificate.
