Holding
The appeal is allowed, following the precedent set in Babua Ram & Ors. v. State of U.P. & Anr., without costs.
Summary
The State of Goa appealed a Bombay High Court order concerning land acquisition under the Land Acquisition Act, 1894. The appeal raised issues already decided in the Supreme Court’s judgment in Babua Ram & Ors. v. State of U.P. & Anr., which the Court affirmed applied to the present case. After condoning delay and granting leave, the Court held that the principles laid down in Babua Ram governed the dispute and allowed the appeal. No costs were awarded to either party. The decision essentially upheld the lower court’s order in line with the earlier precedent.
Issues considered
- What legal principles from Babua Ram & Ors. v. State of U.P. & Anr. apply to the present land acquisition dispute?
- Whether the procedural requirements under the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 were complied with in the impugned order.
