Explanation:

About the Judgement:

• The issue was the interpretation of Section 24(2) of the Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013.This act had replaced the colonial 1894 land acquisition law.
• So,the court has ruled that the compensation would be considered paid if the amount is put in the Treasury. 
• There was no obligation that the amount should be deposited in the court in order to sustain the land acquisition proceedings under the 2013 Act.
• Hence,the landowners who had refused to accept the compensation under the earlier Act cannot take benefit of deemed lapse of acquisition under Section 24 of the new act of 2013.
