Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal, holding that the absence of a stay order after 2010 negated the appellant's argument regarding the delay in passing the award under Section 11A of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894. The Court clarified that the operation of stay could not be cited as a reason for not adhering to the statutory timeline for the award. Consequently, the appeal was found to lack merit and was dismissed without costs.
