U.P.PARENTS ASSOCIATION vs S.K.BHARGAVA — C.A. No. 6746/1999

Summary: The Supreme Court partly allowed the appeals filed by U.P. Parents Association, State of Uttar Pradesh, and City Montessori School against the High Court's judgment that had quashed land acquisition of approximately 23,000 sq.ft. The Court set aside the High Court's order regarding 17,000 sq.ft. of land where government possession was taken, upholding the acquisition notifications. However, 6,000 sq.ft. in possession of respondent S.K. Bhargava was released from acquisition through a November 2004 de-notification under Section 48(1) of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, to which the respondents conceded. No orders were passed on two pending contempt petitions. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
