Uddar Gagan Properties Ltd vs Sant Singh & Ors

The Supreme Court addressed the legality of land acquisition under the Haryana Urban Development Authority Act, 1977 and the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, particularly questioning whether the acquisition served a bona fide public purpose or was a facade for private benefit, violating Articles 14, 21, and 300-A of the Constitution. The Court held that the acquisition was improperly used to benefit a private builder, thus rendering the subsequent licenses and sale deeds invalid. The Court emphasized the need for adherence to statutory procedures in land acquisition, ultimately ruling in favor of the landowners.
