Delhi Development Authority vs Jagan Singh

The Supreme Court examined the validity of land acquisition proceedings initiated under the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, which was later repealed and replaced by the 2013 Act. The Court considered whether the acquisition process, including the notification and award, was legally valid and whether the subsequent challenges under Article 226 were maintainable. The Court emphasized the importance of adherence to procedural requirements and the transition provisions of the new Act. Ultimately, the Court upheld the acquisition proceedings, affirming their legality and the authority of the authorities involved.
