Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the validity of the land acquisition proceedings under the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, specifically referencing Section 4(1) and Section 5-A. The Court established that failure to file objections under Section 5-A by the tenure-holders precludes them from challenging the acquisition. The Court affirmed the High Court's decision, allowing the acquisition to proceed as the appellants had accepted compensation under protest without contesting the proceedings.
