Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court set aside the High Court's dismissal of the writ appeal regarding land acquisition, which was initially dismissed on grounds of delay and laches. The Court found that the Division Bench had overlooked specific averments made by the appellants regarding their possession of the land, which warranted a fresh examination of the case. Consequently, the Court remanded the matter to the Division Bench for a decision in accordance with law, emphasizing the need to consider all relevant facts presented by the appellants.
