The Supreme Court treated the Bangalore Development Authority Act, 1976 as a special law for planned development, with express provisions governing sanction of the scheme and the consequence of non-execution within time. On that basis, the time-limit in Section 11-A of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 was held inapplicable to BDA acquisition proceedings, so the acquisition did not lapse on that ground.
