Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision to set aside the notifications under Section 4(1) and Section 6 read with Section 17(1) of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, stating that the urgency clause was improperly invoked, depriving landowners of their right to object. The Court emphasized that the invocation of urgency must be justified and cannot override the rights of landowners without due process. The appeal by Greater Noida Industrial Development Authority was dismissed, affirming the need for adherence to legal procedures in land acquisition.
