VINOD KUMAR vs STATE OF HARYANA .

The Supreme Court addressed 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 appellant's land, which had an existing residential structure, should not have been included in the acquisition process, as the Land Acquisition Collector had exempted it based on valid objections. Consequently, the Court set aside the High Court's orders and ruled in favor of the appellant, affirming the need for adherence to statutory provisions in land acquisition.
