SARASWATI DEVI (D) BY LR. vs DELHI DEVT.ATUHORITY .

The Supreme Court held that the acquisition of land under the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, does not extinguish the rights of a person who has already been granted a sale certificate under the Displaced Persons (Compensation and Rehabilitation) Act, 1954. The Court emphasized that the issuance of a sale certificate constitutes a valid transfer of title, and the appellant's rights must be recognized despite the subsequent acquisition. The appeal was allowed, reversing the Delhi High Court's decision and affirming the appellant's ownership of the property.
