MORADABAD DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY vs STATE OF U.P. . — C.A. No. 7307/2013

Summary: The Supreme Court allowed Moradabad Development Authority's appeal against the High Court's dismissal of its writ petition challenging the State's 2006 notification releasing 30 decimal land from acquired property. The Court found the High Court erred by not considering whether the State had authority under Section 48(1) of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 to release land over a decade after the award. The matter was remitted to the High Court for fresh disposal, with an interim order from August 2009 remaining operative until final judgment.
