In Brief
This judgment addressed over 200 consolidated Special Leave Petitions and Civil Appeals challenging land acquisition by the Delhi Development Authority. The Supreme Court disposed of multiple cases through interim orders: granting leave in some matters for substantive hearing in August 2017, directing status-quo maintenance of land possession, ordering a local inspection to verify property locations, dismissing certain appeals, permitting withdrawal of others, and requiring the government to clarify whether the 'Competent Automobiles' principle should apply to built-up acquired lands, with a presumption of consent if no written objection was filed by 30 June 2017."
