Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the validity of the land acquisition process under the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, specifically Sections 4(1) and 6, affirming that the objections raised by the appellants regarding alternative land were not adequately considered by the authorities. The Court emphasized that the requirement for public purpose under the Act was satisfied, and the appellants' claims of livelihood loss were insufficient to overturn the acquisition. Consequently, the appeals against the High Court's dismissal of their writ petition were rejected, maintaining the government's acquisition order.
