Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the validity of land acquisition under Section 4 and Section 6 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, affirming the dismissal of the appellants' appeal against the Delhi High Court's judgment. The Court emphasized that the land was not exempt under the specified categories, including Wakf properties, as the acquisition was for planned development. The Court held that the objections raised by the appellants were rightly rejected by the competent authority, thus confirming the legality of the acquisition process.
