DELHI DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY vs REENA SURI .

The Supreme Court ruled that the Delhi Development Authority (DDA) is obligated to provide compensation to the landowners under the Land Acquisition Act, 2013, specifically citing Section 24 regarding the lapsing of acquisition proceedings. The Court established that if the land acquisition process has not been completed within five years, the acquisition is deemed lapsed, and the landowners are entitled to reclaim their land. The appeals by DDA were dismissed, affirming the rights of the landowners to receive compensation and reclaim their property.
