Rajendra Kr. Sharma & Ors vs State Of U.P. & Ors

The Supreme Court addressed the acquisition of land under Section 4(1) and Section 17(4) of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, determining that the notification for acquisition was rendered infructuous due to the Moradabad Development Authority's (MDA) withdrawal of intent to acquire the land. The Court held that the dismissal of the writ petition as not pressed was valid, and the subsequent applications for recall were not maintainable. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the High Court's decision regarding the procedural aspects of land acquisition.
