D.D.A vs Raman Grover And Ors

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's declaration that the land acquisition proceedings have lapsed under Section 24(2) of The Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013, due to the Delhi Development Authority's (DDA) failure to take possession of 1100 sq. yards of land belonging to Respondent No. 1, despite an award being passed in 1986. The Court confirmed that the provisions of Section 24(2) apply, leading to the dismissal of the appeal without costs.
