Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the quashing of acquisition notifications under Sections 4(1) and 6(1) of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, by the High Court, emphasizing that the State Level Coordination Committee failed to apply its mind to the facts before clearing the acquisition of agricultural lands belonging to poor farmers. The Court reiterated that due process must be followed in land acquisition matters, particularly when it affects the rights of landowners. The appeals were dismissed, affirming the High Court's decision to protect the interests of the agriculturalists.
