"19… We are unable to accept the extreme contention urged by the learned Senior Advocate for the Government that the land should be permitted to be utilized for purposes other than those for which it was acquired. Once we uphold the validity of the proceedings for acquisition under the Acquisition Act,

it has to follow that the lands have to be utilized for the purpose for which they were acquired…."
