M/S. Competent Automobiles Co. Ltd vs Union Of India & Ors

The Supreme Court addressed the appeal against the Delhi High Court's judgment upholding the timely declaration under Section 6 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894. The Court found that the time for passing the Award under Section 11 had not expired and vacated the interim stay order issued earlier. The Delhi Development Authority's affidavit indicated that due to the built-up nature of the land and surrounding monuments, it was not feasible to proceed with the acquisition, leading to the decision to halt the proceedings, subject to further orders.
