In Brief
This matter involved three consolidated civil appeals filed by the Land Acquisition Collector against dismissal of land acquisition proceedings. The Court noted that appeals by the Delhi Development Authority on the same issue had already been dismissed but with liberty to initiate fresh acquisition proceedings within one year under the 2013 Act. Accordingly, the present appeals were also dismissed subject to the same liberty, allowing the authorities to commence new land acquisition proceedings within the prescribed timeframe.
