Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision to quash notifications under Section 6 and partly under Section 4 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, due to the improper invocation of the urgency clause under Section 17(1) and 17(4). The Court established that the Collector must conduct inquiries under Section 5A, allowing landowners to file objections and potentially exempting those with no objections from refunding compensation. The outcome mandates the refund of compensation for those who do not object to the acquisition, while ensuring due process is followed in the land acquisition proceedings.
