In Brief
Krishan Chander appealed against the High Court's dismissal of a writ petition that sought to release land from acquisition proceedings under the Land Acquisition Act, 1894. The Supreme Court found that the High Court had dismissed the petition without adequately considering the facts and circumstances on their merits. Holding that such dismissal was premature, the Court set aside the High Court's order and remitted the writ petition for fresh consideration on its merits, clarifying that all contentions remained open for the High Court to decide independently."
