Delhi Development Authority vs Shiv Raj

The Supreme Court overturned the Delhi High Court's decision declaring the land acquisition by the Delhi Development Authority as lapsed under the Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition Act, 2013. The court found that the possession of the land was taken in 2006, and thus the acquisition was valid. The ruling emphasized the importance of adhering to statutory provisions regarding land acquisition and the implications of possession on the validity of such acquisitions.
