Section 5A Land Acquisition Act | Absence of Objector at Hearing Does Not Vitiate Proceedings: Rajasthan HC Upholds Government Discretion on Public Purpose
Rajasthan High Court rules that non-participation of landowners in Section 5A hearings under the Land Acquisition Act does not invalidate acquisition proceedings. The judgment reinforces judicial deference to the government’s determination of public purpose, limiting judicial review to procedural fairness rather than substantive merits.
