In Brief
The Supreme Court allowed an appeal against a High Court Division Bench order that had dismissed an intra-court appeal in a land acquisition case. The appellants had challenged Section 4 notifications under the Land Acquisition Act. The Court found that the Division Bench disposed of the appeal in a cursory manner without addressing the substantive factual and legal issues or the submissions raised by the appellant. The Court remanded the case to the Division Bench for fresh consideration on merits, emphasizing that appellate courts must record findings on all issues properly raised by parties.
