Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the dismissal of the appellants' petition against the land acquisition for a primary school under the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, specifically citing Sections 4, 5, 6, and 11A. The Court found that the State had complied with statutory requirements and that the appellants failed to participate in the mandatory Section 5A inquiry. The Court held that the acquisition was valid as it served a public purpose and was conducted within the legal framework, thus dismissing the appeal.
