Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court overturned the High Court's decision declaring the land acquisition proceedings lapsed under Section 24(2) of the Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013. The court noted that the land had been utilized for public purposes since 1987, which negated the High Court's findings. The appeal was allowed, affirming the validity of the acquisition proceedings.
