Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the legality of the Notification dated 12.04.2001, which withdrew Survey No. 50 from acquisition under the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, specifically Sections 4 and 6. The Court upheld the Single Judge's decision to restore the 2001 Notification, emphasizing that the State's subsequent Notification dated 22.03.2005 was invalid as it attempted to reverse the earlier withdrawal without proper justification. The judgment reinforces the principle that once land is withdrawn from acquisition, it cannot be re-acquired without due process.
