Ram Dhari Jindal Memorial Trust vs Union Of India & Ors

The Supreme Court upheld the Delhi High Court's dismissal of Writ Petitions challenging the land acquisition for the Rohini Residential Scheme under the Land Acquisition Act, 1894. The Court found that the Lt. Governor's invocation of Section 17(4) was justified, and the dispensation of the inquiry under Section 5A was valid given the urgency of the housing shortage. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the legality of the acquisition process and the necessity of the public purpose stated.
