Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the legality of successive Notifications under Section 4 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, holding that the second Notification superseded the first, and the third superseded the second. The Court found that the supplementary award made under the first Notification was illegal and quashed it, directing the respondents to hand over possession of the suit property to the appellants. The appeals were allowed, affirming the High Court's decision that the acquisition proceedings were invalid due to the abandonment of the process by the respondents.
