Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the notifications issued under Section 4(1) and Section 6 of the Land Acquisition Act, affirming the High Court's decision that the urgency in dispensing with Section 5-A was justified due to traffic congestion. The Court found that the appellants lacked standing to challenge the notifications as they were not the owners of the plots in question. The Court concluded that the High Court's findings were correct and there was no infirmity in the notifications issued by the Development Authority.
