Land Acquisition – Lapse of proceedings – High Court while relying upon the decision in Pune Municipal Corporation case, had held that the acquisition proceedings with respect to the land in question had lapsed under sub-section (2) of s.24 of the Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013 as the amount of compensation was not actually paid to the land owners – On appeal, held: Since the decision in Pune Municipal Corporation case was subsequently overruled by a Constitution Bench in Indore Development Authority v. Manoharlal case , the order passed by the High Court is unsustainable and is therefore quashed and set aside – Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013. Indore Development Authority v. Manoharlal and Others (2020) 8 SCC 129: [2020] 3 SCR 1 – followed.
