D.D.A. vs SAMEY SINGH (D) BY LRS. . — SLP(C) No. 11722/2003

Case Summary: D.D.A. v. Samey Singh Outcome: The Supreme Court dismissed the special leave petitions filed by the Delhi Development Authority (DDA) on November 16, 2005. The Court held that land notified for acquisition under Section 4 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 but omitted from the Section 6(2) declaration published in the Official Gazette cannot later be claimed as acquired. The Court rejected DDA's argument that the Section 6(2) notification is merely ministerial, clarifying that such notification is essential public notice enabling landowners to exercise statutory rights regarding compensation or court reference.
