Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the dismissal of the appellants' writ petitions challenging the acquisition of land under the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, specifically citing Section 4(1) and Section 6. The Court ruled that the interim stay granted by the High Court did not extend the period for making an award beyond the statutory limit, as the stay was only for four weeks. Consequently, the Court found no merit in the appeals and affirmed the High Court's decision, thereby allowing the land acquisition to proceed.
