Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the appeal regarding the failure of the land acquisition process under the Land Acquisition Act, 2013, specifically Section 24(2). The court held that the acquisition process was invalid as the compensation amount was deposited in the treasury but not paid to the landowners. The court relied on previous judgments to affirm the decision of the High Court, which had ruled in favor of the landowners.
