Land Acquisition Proceedings Lapse If Award Is Not Passed Within 2 Years Of Declaration Being Made: J&K High Court

The ruling likely interprets the relevant land acquisition laws and specifies the conditions under which acquisition proceedings can be deemed to have lapsed, potentially providing relief to landowners whose land was intended for acquisition but the process was not completed within the stipulated timeframe.
