Summary
After revival of land-acquisition appeals, a cooperative housing society sought release of land acquired for the Vasant Kunj residential scheme. The Court found no basis to order de-notification or invalidate the acquisition. The competent Government had already rejected release, and the society’s housing purpose and policy arguments did not alter the result.
Issues
- Whether cooperative-society status and housing policy justified directing release or quashing the acquisition.
Held
- The Government had already rejected the de-notification request, and no ground for judicial interference was made out. Cooperative-society status did not change the acquisition’s character and had already been considered; the cited policy supplied no basis to invalidate the proceedings. (¶¶ 4, 5)
Result
Revived appeals dismissed on merits. No direction for de-notification or quashing of the acquisition was granted.
