our client formed a co-operative society (prop) and approached the land acquisition u/s 14(1) of SRA ACT. at the time of hearing proceeding party of the second part has purchased th land from original owner. and challenged the proceeding of of the SRA act land acquisition.The land is slum declared in 1973. no originalower has collected the rent and not provided any services to the slum dweller. and till date no second owner has provided any services or not collected the rent from slum dweller.
hence can the second owner challenge the proceeding of land acquisition.

He can challenge the proceedings since he steps into the shoes of the original owner by purchasing the property.
