Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court dismissed the appeals by the Delhi Development Authority, holding that there was no stay preventing the acquisition of land from the respondents under the Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013. The Court emphasized that the appellant failed to comply with the statutory requirements of Section 24(2) of the Act, which necessitates timely possession and compensation. Consequently, the appeals were found to lack merit and were dismissed.
