Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the Delhi High Court's dismissal of Writ Petitions challenging land acquisition under the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, specifically Sections 4(1), 6, and 17. The Court found that the Lt. Governor's invocation of urgency provisions and dispensation of the inquiry under Section 5A were justified, as the land was required for the public purpose of the Rohini Residential Scheme. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed, affirming the legality of the acquisition process.
