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 utilize the land for the intended educational purposes as per the conditions set forth in the agreement dated 18th February 1988. The Court affirmed the High Court's decision, which had upheld the order of the learned Single Judge, thereby dismissing the petitions.
