Mahadeo & Ors vs State Of U.P.& Ors

The Supreme Court addressed appeals against the Allahabad High Court's orders regarding land acquisition under the Land Acquisition Act, 1894. The Court held that the Meerut Development Authority's resolution to withdraw from the acquisition was valid, and directed the State to consider this resolution in light of Section 48(2) of the Act, which allows for withdrawal of acquisition. The Court also emphasized the need for adherence to procedural requirements under Sections 4, 6, and 17 of the Act, ultimately allowing the appeals and quashing the acquisition proceedings.
