Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the appeals filed by the Agricultural Produce Marketing Committee, Bangalore, challenging the High Court's dismissal of their writ appeals regarding land acquisitions. The court upheld the High Court's ruling that the acquisitions had lapsed under Section 24(2) of the Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013. The decision reinforced the legal principle that failure to take possession within the stipulated time frame leads to lapsing of the acquisition.
