Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court dismissed the appeals filed by the Delhi Development Authority, affirming the lower court's decisions in related cases. 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 was clarified that failure to initiate proceedings within this period would require the appellant to return possession of the land to the original landowner, as mandated by Section 11 of the Act.
