Delhi Development Authority vs Krishan Lal Arora

The Supreme Court overturned the High Court's decision that declared the land acquisition by the Delhi Development Authority lapsed under Section 24(2) of the Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013. The court reasoned that the possession of the land had been taken over, and the lapse was incorrectly attributed solely to the non-payment of compensation. The appeal was allowed, reinstating the validity of the land acquisition process.
