Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Delhi High Court which set aside the judgment of the Additional District Judge regarding the land acquisition proceedings initiated under the Land Acquisition Act, 1894. The court examined the legality of the acquisition process and found that the necessary procedural requirements were not met, leading to the conclusion that the acquisition was invalid. Consequently, the appeals filed by the Union of India were dismissed, affirming the High Court's ruling.
