Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court set aside the High Court's order regarding land acquisition under the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, specifically referencing Section 4. The Court held that the High Court failed to consider the appellants' argument that the land, only 1000 sq. yards, was insufficient for establishing a Medical College, which was not the purpose stated in the acquisition notification. The matter was remitted to the High Court for re-examination without expressing any opinion on the merits.
