JUDGMENT :

Surya Kant, J.

1. Leave Granted.

2. This appeal arises from the judgment dated 30.05.2022 passed by the Bombay High Court dismissing the Appellants’ Writ Petition in which they had sought to quash a series of resolutions passed by Respondent No. 2, as well as notifications and a final award of compensation under the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 (“LAA”) issued by Respondent Nos. 10 & 11, which cumulatively resulted in acquisition of parts of the Appellants’ property for construction of a new road.

A. FACTS

3. The genesis and course of the present dispute spans several decades and includes one prior round of litigation before this Court. The crux of the matter arises from the opposition by Appellants to the construction of a road through their property by Respondent No. 2, the Municipal Corporation of Mumbai. The property in question was acquired by the Appellants in 1959, and a building known as the “INGA Building” was constructed on it in 1965.

4. The possibility of having a road through the Appellants’ land was floated initially in a Development Plan (“DP”) of 1976. After this, the road was realigned in 1984 in order to secure smooth passage through Appellants’ land. Appellants
