Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision that the land acquisition had lapsed under Section 24(2) of the Land Acquisition Act, 2013 due to non-taking of possession and non-payment of compensation. The Court confirmed that these factors are sufficient grounds for declaring the acquisition void. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed, affirming the High Court's ruling.
