In Brief
The Supreme Court set aside the High Court's decision allowing a writ appeal by respondents seeking relief against a land acquisition. The Court found that the High Court had failed to notice that a related writ appeal by the predecessors-in-title concerning the same land acquisition notifications was pending before it. The Court held that both appeals should have been heard together to ensure consistency. The matter was remanded to the High Court's Division Bench to decide both appeals jointly within six months, on their own merits and without being influenced by observations in the set-aside judgment."
