Delhi Development Authority vs Mgs (India) Private Limited

The Supreme Court examined the validity of the High Court's declaration that land acquisition had lapsed under Section 24(2) of the Land Acquisition Act, 2013. The Court analyzed whether the provisions of the Act, particularly Section 24(2), applied to the facts of the case and whether the acquisition process was valid. The Court ultimately upheld the High Court's decision, affirming that the land acquisition had indeed lapsed due to non-implementation within the stipulated period. The judgment clarifies the scope of Section 24(2) and its impact on land acquisition proceedings.
