Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court dismissed the appeals filed by the Delhi Development Authority, affirming the decision in Civil Appeal No. 8477 of 2016. The Court granted the appellant one year to initiate fresh acquisition proceedings under Section 24(2) of the Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013. It was clarified that failure to initiate proceedings within this period would result in the return of physical possession of the land to the original landowner.
