GOVT. OF NCT OF DELHI vs RAVINDER KUMAR JAIN

The Supreme Court examined a challenge to a 2014 high court order regarding land acquisition, compensation, and transparency under the Land Acquisition Act, 2013, specifically Section 24(2). The court analyzed whether the subsequent land purchase and transfer challenged under the Act were valid, considering the applicability of the 2013 Act and the rights of subsequent purchasers. The court held that the challenge was barred due to the finality of the earlier orders and the lack of authority for the subsequent landholder to invoke Section 24(2). The court dismissed the appeal, affirming the earlier orders and emphasizing the importance of finality in land acquisition proceedings.
