Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's order directing the Rajasthan State Industrial Development and Investment Corporation (RIICO) to release land from acquisition under the Rajasthan Land Acquisition Act, 1953, specifically referencing Section 4(1) and Section 6. The Court established that the respondent society's agreement to sell with the khatedars was valid and that the acquisition proceedings were challenged on grounds of delay, which did not preclude the society from seeking relief. The Court ultimately ruled in favor of the society, allowing the release of the land in dispute.
