The State Of Haryana vs Sushila

The Supreme Court examined whether land acquisition proceedings under the Land Acquisition Act, 2013, had lapsed due to non-payment of compensation and non-takeover of possession, as claimed by the respondents. The High Court had declared the acquisition to have lapsed under Section 24(2) of the Act, 2013. The Supreme Court considered the facts and legal provisions, ultimately upholding the High Court's decision that the acquisition had indeed lapsed due to non-compliance with statutory requirements.
