Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision regarding the acquisition of land under the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, specifically citing Sections 4(1), 6, and 17(4). The Court found that the invocation of the urgency clause was justified and that the petitioners failed to demonstrate any grounds for challenging the notifications. The Court affirmed that the petitioners could seek redress from the State Government under Section 48 for deacquisition, but upheld the legality of the acquisition process initiated by the Gorakhpur Development Authority.
