In Brief
The Supreme Court considered a Special Leave Petition filed by Haryana challenging a High Court judgment regarding land acquisition under the Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013. A recent three-judge Bench decision in Indore Development Authority had conflicted with earlier interpretations of Section 24. The Court issued interim directions requesting High Courts to defer cases on this issue and Supreme Court Benches to adjourn similar matters pending final decision on whether the matter should be referred to a larger Bench, to prevent further unsettling of established law.
