Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the dispute regarding land acquisition under the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, specifically referencing Section 4(1) and Section 6. The Court held that the assignment of land to WS Industries (India) Ltd was valid, as they had paid for the acquisition and obtained a registered deed. The Court ruled that the first respondent's claim to rectify revenue records and cancel the patta in favor of WSIL was not substantiated, thereby upholding the rights of WSIL over the disputed land.
