Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the validity of the land acquisition under Section 4 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, affirming that the land dedicated for charitable purposes was subject to acquisition for public use. The Court clarified that the provisions of the Act allow for the acquisition of land even if it is part of a Wakf, provided the acquisition serves a public purpose. The appeal against the Delhi High Court's dismissal of the first appeal was dismissed, reinforcing the legality of the acquisition process.
