Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's dismissal of the appeal by the J & K Housing Board regarding the land acquisition process under the Jammu & Kashmir Land Acquisition Act, 1990. The Court emphasized compliance with procedural requirements under Sections 4, 5, 6, and 17 of the Act, noting that the notification and subsequent actions were valid despite objections from landowners. The Court affirmed that the acquisition was for a public purpose and that the procedural lapses cited by the appellants did not invalidate the acquisition process.
