Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the issue of land acquisition under the Land Acquisition Act, specifically referencing Sections 4 and 6. The Court held that the appellant's claim to the land was based on a mistake made by the Circle Inspector during the allotment process, which was later rectified by the Collector. The Court upheld the Collector's decision to correct the error, affirming that the appellant was not entitled to the land in question as it was not part of the acquisition award, thus dismissing the appeal.
