Radhy Shyam(D)Thr. Lrs & Ors vs State Of U.P.& Ors

The Supreme Court upheld the invocation of Section 17(1) and 17(4) of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, by the Greater NOIDA Industrial Development Authority for the acquisition of land for industrial development, dismissing the appellants' claims of violation of their rights under Section 5A and Article 14 of the Constitution. The Court found that the urgency for industrial development justified the bypassing of the inquiry under Section 5A, and the appellants' arguments regarding the land's residential zoning and prior constructions were insufficient to overturn the acquisition. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the High Court's decision.
