Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the legality of land acquisition notifications issued under Sections 4(1) and 6(1) of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, which were quashed by the Single Judge of the High Court but later set aside by the Division Bench. The Court emphasized the necessity of proper application of mind by the State Level Coordination Committee in approving land acquisitions, holding that failure to do so renders the acquisition invalid. The Court ultimately upheld the Division Bench's decision, allowing the acquisition to proceed.
