Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the validity of land acquisition under the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, specifically Sections 5-A and 6(1), determining that the appellants' land acquisition was vitiated due to procedural violations and discrimination in the release of land. The Court held that the State Government's actions were arbitrary and violated Article 14 of the Constitution, leading to the conclusion that the acquisition of the appellants' land was unlawful. Consequently, the Court quashed the acquisition notification and upheld the appellants' objections.
