Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's rejection of the appellants' plea to quash land acquisition proceedings initiated under Sections 4 and 6 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, for the construction of a railway line. The Court emphasized that the validity of the acquisition could not be challenged in the writ petition as it was impermissible after the award had been made and objections had been previously considered. The Court reiterated that the remand was only for determining statutory benefits, not for questioning the acquisition itself, thus affirming the High Court's decision.
