GURBINDER KAUR BRAR vs UOI

The Supreme Court quashed the land acquisition notifications dated 26.6.2006, 2.8.2006, and 28.2.2007 issued under Sections 4(1) and 6(1) of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, for the Chandigarh Technology Park, reversing the Punjab and Haryana High Court's dismissal of the appellants' writ petitions. The Court held that the notifications were invalid as they were issued by officers of the Union Territory of Chandigarh without proper authority, referencing Article 239 of the Constitution and the Chandigarh (Delegation of Powers) Act, 1987. The outcome favored the appellants, leading to the quashing of the acquisition.
