Government mistaken acquires its own land, is not admission of title of other person

Jaipur Development Authority v. Mahesh Sharma, (2010) 9 SCC 782 : (2010) 3 SCC (Civ) 942 at page 792

32. In State of Orissa v. Brundaban Sharma [1995 Supp (3) SCC 249] this Court has held that the Land Acquisition Act does not contemplate or provide for the acquisition of any interest belonging to the Government in the land on acquisition. It reiterated the settled position of law that the Government being the owner of the land need not acquire its own land merely because a person mistakenly resorted to acquire the land and later on mistakenly published notifications under Sections 4 and 6 of the Act.
