Union Of India vs Tarsem Singh

The Supreme Court addressed the applicability of the judgment in Madishetti Bala Ramul case to the National Highways Act, clarifying that the provisions of the National Highways Act, specifically Section 3G(5), differ significantly from those of the Land Acquisition Act. The court found that the lower court had erred in applying the precedent from the Land Acquisition Act to the National Highways Act. Consequently, the Supreme Court allowed the appeals and set aside the impugned judgments.
