DELHI DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY vs RAJ SINGH

The Supreme Court addressed the appeal by the Delhi Development Authority against the High Court's ruling that declared 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 emphasized the necessity of compensation payment to landowners, which was not adequately demonstrated by the DDA. Consequently, the Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision, affirming the lapse of acquisition proceedings due to non-payment of compensation.
