State Of Haryana vs Eros City Developers Pvt.Ltd.& Ors

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision to quash notifications under Sections 4 and 6 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, regarding the acquisition of land in Faridabad for the Surajkund Tourist Complex. The Court found that the acquisition was not justified as the land had previously been subject to a dropped acquisition attempt in 1992, and the purpose of acquisition was not sufficiently substantiated. The Court emphasized the need for clear and compelling reasons for land acquisition under the Act, thereby reinforcing the principles of fair compensation and due process in land acquisition matters.
