Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal by the Delhi Development Authority, affirming the lower court's decision and referencing a prior judgment 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 stipulated that failure to do so would result in the return of physical possession of the land to the original owner.
