Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court dismissed the appeals filed by the New Okhla Industrial Development Authority against the High Court's orders regarding land acquisition under the Land Acquisition Act, 1894. The court upheld the High Court's findings that the acquisition process was flawed due to the lack of proper inquiry and notice to the affected parties. Consequently, the court ruled that the acquisition was invalid, emphasizing the necessity of adhering to procedural safeguards in land acquisition.
