Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court dismissed Civil Appeal No. 913 of 2008, affirming the High Court's decision regarding the acquisition of land 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 is within the subjective satisfaction of the acquiring authority, and it is not for the Court to interfere in such matters. The appellants were given the option to approach the State authority for further relief if the project was completed and the purpose of acquisition achieved.
