Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court overturned the High Court's decision that deemed the land acquisition proceedings to have lapsed under Section 24(2) of the Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013. The Court found that the Agra Development Authority had taken possession of the land and completed necessary development works, thus validating the acquisition process. The appeal was allowed, reinforcing the Authority's claim over the land in question.
