Visakhapatnam Urban Devl.Authority vs S.S.Naidu & Ors

The Supreme Court addressed the complexities surrounding land acquisition under the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, particularly focusing on the validity of G.O.M. No.714 dated 11th November, 1983, which cancelled the withdrawal of acquisition proceedings. The Court held that once possession was taken and compensation deposited, the acquisition remained valid despite subsequent government orders. The Court directed the State Government to reconsider the landowners' representation regarding the acquisition, reaffirming the principles of lawful acquisition and the rights of landowners under the Act.
