Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court allowed the appeal challenging the Delhi High Court's order regarding land acquisition under the 2013 Act. The court held that the acquisition had lapsed as no possession was taken and compensation was not paid to the landowners. The judgment reiterated the principles laid down in previous cases regarding the lapse of acquisition when statutory requirements are not met.
