Delhi Development Authority vs Rajender Singh

The Supreme Court examined whether land acquisition proceedings had lapsed under Section 24(2) of the Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013, due to the delay in possession and compensation. The High Court had declared the acquisition to have lapsed, but the Supreme Court considered the timeline of possession and compensation transfer. The Court emphasized the importance of timely completion of acquisition procedures to prevent lapsing, ultimately setting aside the High Court's declaration and allowing the appeal.
