Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court analyzed the validity of notifications issued under Section 4(1) and Section 6 read with Section 17(1) of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, concerning land acquisition for planned industrial development. The Court held that the urgency clause under Section 17(4) could not be invoked without real urgency, emphasizing the need for landowners to have the opportunity to file objections. The Court ultimately upheld the High Court's decision to set aside the notifications, reinforcing the principle that due process must be followed in land acquisition matters.
