Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's order directing the State Government to issue a notification for the release of acquired land under Section 48 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894. The Court emphasized that the State's decision to release land must be in accordance with the law and the principles of natural justice. The judgment confirmed that the landowners had a legitimate expectation for the release of their land after the State's partial acceptance of their application.
