Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the jurisdiction of civil courts in land acquisition matters, specifically under the Land Acquisition Act. The Court held that civil courts do not have jurisdiction to entertain suits concerning lands that have been acquired by the government, as per the provisions of the Act. The High Court's decision to remand the matter for fresh disposal was deemed improper, leading to the appeal being allowed and the High Court's order set aside.
