Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013: s.24(2) – Before the High Court, it was specific case on behalf of the appellants-original respondents that the possession of the subject land was taken on 05.09.2002 – The same was disputed by the original writ petitioners – However, thereafter, solely on the ground that the compensation was not tendered and relying upon the decision in the case of Pune Municipal Corporation, High Court allowed the writ petition and declared that the land acquisition proceedings under the Act, 1894 lapsed by virtue of s.24(2) – Hence instant appeal – Held: In view of Indore Development Authority case and as the judgment in the case of Pune Municipal Corporation was specifically overruled by this Court, the impugned judgment and order passed by the High Court is unsustainable – The same is quashed and set aside.
