Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal challenging the Bombay High Court's decision to uphold the acquisition of the appellants' property for road construction under the Land Acquisition Act, 1894. The court found that the acquisition was justified based on public interest and the historical context of the development plans. The appellants' objections were deemed insufficient to overturn the resolutions and notifications issued by the municipal authorities.
