Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the complexities surrounding land acquisition under the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, specifically referencing Section 4(1) and Section 6. The Court held that once possession is taken and compensation is deposited, the acquisition remains valid despite subsequent government orders to withdraw the acquisition. The Court ultimately upheld the validity of the original acquisition notification, ruling in favor of the Visakhapatnam Urban Development Authority.
