The Supreme Court dismissed the appeals, affirming the lower court's decision and referencing prior judgments in Civil Appeal No. 8477 of 2016 and Civil Appeal No. 5811 of 2015. The Court granted the appellant a one-year period to initiate fresh acquisition proceedings under Section 24(2) of the Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013. It stipulated that failure to initiate such proceedings would require the appellant to return possession of the land to the original owner.
