Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the legality of land acquisition proceedings initiated by the U.P. Awas Evam Vikas Parishad under the U.P. Awas Evam Vikas Parishad Adhiniyam, 1965 and the Land Acquisition Act, 1894. The court examined the notifications issued for acquisition and the invocation of the urgency clause, ultimately ruling on the validity of the acquisition process and the rights of the legal representatives of the deceased landowner. The appeals were allowed, affirming the procedural compliance of the appellant in the land acquisition process.
