Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal filed by the Delhi Development Authority, affirming the dismissal of previous appeals related to land acquisition. The Court provided 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 was clarified that failure to initiate proceedings within this period would result in the return of physical possession of the land to the original owner.
