Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the Jharkhand High Court's order directing the issuance of notifications under Sections 4 and 6 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, affirming the Single Judge's decision for the assessment of land value and passing of an award. The Court emphasized that the agreement between the vendor and the Government of Bihar was valid and binding, allowing for the acquisition of land for the rehabilitation of the Kharia tribe. The appeal was dismissed, confirming the lower court's ruling on the procedural compliance of land acquisition.
