4. Even otherwise as observed and held by this Court in the case of Delhi Administration Through Secretary, Land and Building vs. Pawan Kumar & Ors., Civil Appeal No.3646 of 2022 and Delhi Development Authority versus Godfrey Phillips (I) Ltd. & Ors, Civil Appeal No. 3073 of 2022, the subsequent purchasers have no locus to challenge the acquisition and/or lapsing of acquisition.

4.1 Applying the law laid down by this Court in the aforesaid two decisions, the writ petition at the instance of the private respondents herein – original writ petitioners being subsequent purchasers ought not to have been entertained by the High Court challenging the acquisition proceedings and/or praying for lapse of the acquisition under Section 24(2) of the Act, 2013. Under the circumstances also the impugned judgment and order passed by the High Court is unsustainable.
