The Supreme Court's interpretation of the Land Acquisition Act, 2013, notably in the case of Indore Development Authority v. Manoharlal, has led to controversy. The ruling reinterprets Section 24(2), suggesting that land acquisition may not lapse even if compensation is merely 'tendered' and not actually disbursed to landowners. This approach, reasserted in State of Haryana v. Aalamgir, raises concerns about landowners being deprived of their land and its value due to procedural delays or administrative negligence.
