Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court dismissed Civil Appeal No. 913 of 2008, affirming the High Court's decision regarding the land acquisition under Section 4 of the Land Acquisition Act for a public purpose, specifically for a Canal Based Water Supply Scheme. The Court held that the determination of suitable land for acquisition lies within the subjective satisfaction of the acquiring authority, and it is not within the Court's purview to question this decision. The appellants were advised to approach the State authority for any further relief if the project had been completed.
