Delhi Development Authority vs Jagan Singh

The Supreme Court examined whether the land acquisition by the Delhi Development Authority had lapsed under Section 24(2) of the Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013, due to non-implementation of the acquisition within the stipulated period. The High Court had declared the acquisition lapsed, but the Supreme Court considered the timeline of possession and relevant case law. The Court emphasized the importance of timely completion of acquisition proceedings to prevent lapsing, and the appeal was allowed, overturning the High Court's declaration.
