Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court examined the validity of a High Court judgment that declared land acquisition proceedings as lapsed under Section 24(2) of the Right to Fair Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013. The High Court's decision was based on the lapse of proceedings due to non-implementation within the statutory period. The Supreme Court analyzed whether the High Court's reliance on the cited precedent was justified and upheld the procedural safeguards under the Act. The Court ultimately dismissed the appeal, affirming the High Court's declaration of lapse of acquisition proceedings.
