Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the issue of land acquisition under the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, specifically Section 4(1), and the subsequent legal proceedings initiated by the appellants regarding their ownership of 0.81 acres of land. The Court held that the earlier writ petition quashing the acquisition was valid, and the appellants were entitled to a 'No Objection Certificate' for the entire land, rejecting the government's offer for only 0.81 cents. The Court emphasized the importance of correcting clerical errors in legal documents and upheld the appellants' rights to the land as per the earlier judgment.
