Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the legality of land acquisition under the Land Acquisition Act, specifically citing Section 4 and Section 6. The Court held that the acquisition process was valid despite challenges from the landowner and subsequent purchasers, affirming the authority of the Bihar State Housing Board to evict unauthorized occupants. The Court dismissed the writ petition, upholding the earlier decisions of the Patna High Court and confirming the acquisition's legitimacy.
