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 despite the appellant's claims, as possession was deemed taken on April 30, 2013, following an undertaking. The appeal was disposed of, allowing the High Court to reconsider the writ petition regarding the land acquisition afresh, given that the contempt proceedings had been resolved.
