Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision declaring that the land acquisition proceedings initiated under the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 had lapsed as per Section 24(2) of the Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013. The court emphasized that the lack of compensation tendered was a critical factor in determining the lapse of acquisition. Consequently, the appeal by the Government of NCT of Delhi was dismissed, affirming the High Court's ruling.
