Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the validity of land acquisition under the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, specifically citing Section 4 and Section 6. The Court held that the acquisition process was valid and that possession of the land was deemed to have been taken over as per the appellant's undertaking. The appeal was disposed of, allowing the High Court to reconsider the writ petition afresh, given that the possession had already been taken by the Delhi Development Authority.
