Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court examined the legality of land acquisition under the Haryana Urban Development Authority Act, 1977 and the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, specifically Sections 4 and 6. The Court held that the High Court's decision to uphold the acquisition was justified, as the appellant's construction was unauthorized and did not comply with the Punjab Scheduled Roads and Controlled Areas Restriction of Unregulated Development Act, 1963. Consequently, the appeals were dismissed, affirming the High Court's orders.
