Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the acquisition of land under the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, specifically Sections 4(1) and 17(1), affirming the validity of the notification and subsequent proceedings. The Court ruled that the appellant's claim for compensation for constructions made after the notification was not tenable, as the constructions were initiated post-notification and thus did not warrant compensation. The appeal against the Allahabad High Court's dismissal of the writ petition was dismissed, confirming the acquisition process was lawful and justified.
