DELHI ADMN. vs GURDIP SINGH UBAN . — C.A. No. 4656/1999

The Supreme Court dismissed applications seeking recall of its 20 August 1999 judgment upholding Delhi's land acquisition in village Chatrapur. The Court held that the earlier judgment correctly followed the three-judge precedent in *Abhey Ram v. Union of India*, which confined quashing of acquisition proceedings to specific writ petitions rather than invalidating entire notifications, and rejected arguments that the Section 6 declaration lacked reasons. However, the Court granted limited relief to respondent Gurdip Singh Uban under Section 48 of the Land Acquisition Act to release his constructed building, based on estoppel from the DDA's representation that proceedings were quashed.
