Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court ruled that the Government of NCT of Delhi is liable to pay compensation under the Land Acquisition Act, 2013, specifically referencing Section 24 regarding the lapsing of land acquisition proceedings. The Court established that if the acquisition process has not been completed within five years, the land shall be deemed to have lapsed, thus entitling the landowners to compensation. The appeal by the Government was dismissed, affirming the lower court's decision in favor of the respondents.
