Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court reversed the High Court's decision declaring the land acquisition proceedings under the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 as lapsed. The court emphasized that the High Court did not adequately consider the implications of the Pune Municipal Corporation case, which set important precedents regarding land acquisition. The Supreme Court reinstated the validity of the acquisition proceedings, thereby favoring the Government of NCT of Delhi.
