Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal by the Delhi Development Authority, affirming that the issue was covered against the appellant by prior judgments. The Court granted the appellant a period of one year 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 landowners.
