Govt. Of Nct Of Delhi vs Krishan Kumar

The Supreme Court examined whether the land acquisition process initiated in 1964 and the subsequent declaration of award in 1981 had lapsed under Section 24(2) of the Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013. The High Court had declared the acquisition to have lapsed, but the Supreme Court analyzed the timeline and legal provisions to determine the validity of this declaration. The Court's decision focused on the applicability of Section 24(2) and the procedural lapses, ultimately upholding or setting aside the lapse declaration.
