Pawan Kumar Aggarwal vs State Of Punjab & Ors

The Supreme Court held that under Section 24(2) of the Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013, the appellant is entitled to protection as they have not been dispossessed of their land despite an award being passed. The Court referenced its previous judgment in Karnail Kaur & Ors. Vs. State of Punjab & Ors., where similar circumstances led to the quashing of the acquisition notification. Consequently, the appeal was allowed, and the acquisition proceedings concerning the appellant's land were quashed.
