Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court reversed the High Court's decision declaring that the land acquisition proceedings had lapsed under Section 24(2) of the Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013. The Court emphasized that the High Court did not adequately consider the specific circumstances of the case and the relevant legal precedents. Consequently, the appeal by the Government of NCT of Delhi was allowed, reinstating the validity of the land acquisition proceedings.
