In Brief
Ghanshyam and another sought relief regarding land acquisition proceedings. The Supreme Court affirmed the High Court's decision granting them liberty to approach the concerned authority under the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 within an extended 30-day period to pursue remedies. The Court reserved the question of whether the Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013 rendered the acquisition void, directing the appellants to file a substantive writ petition in the High Court if they wished to pursue that argument. The appeal was allowed with no costs awarded.
