D. Hanumanth Sa & Ors vs State Of Karnataka & Ors

The Supreme Court examined the validity of notifications issued under Section 4 and Section 6 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, concerning the acquisition of land for public purposes. The Court upheld the Division Bench's ruling of the Karnataka High Court, which found that the acquisition was justified for public purposes, rejecting the appellants' claims of vagueness and lack of necessity. The Court emphasized that the purpose of acquisition must align with the notifications issued, thereby affirming the legality of the acquisition process.
