The Supreme Court upheld the dismissal of the appellants' writ petitions challenging the land acquisition process under the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, specifically citing Sections 4(1), 6, and 11A. The Court clarified that the interim stay granted by the High Court did not extend the period for making the award beyond the statutory limit of two years as prescribed in Section 11A.
