Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the resumption of 76 acres of land by the State of Haryana under the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, specifically citing Sections 4 and 6. The Court found that the petitioner, Raunaq Education Foundation, failed to comply with the conditions of land use for educational purposes, as evidenced by the lack of documentation regarding school operations and admissions. The Court affirmed the High Court's decision, concluding that the resumption order was justified due to non-utilization of the land as intended.
