SATINDER SINGH AND OTHERS vs AMRAO SINGH AND OTHERS.

The Supreme Court held that the lands acquired under the East Punjab Acquisition and Requisition of Immovable Property (Temporary Powers) Act, 1948, were part of an inalienable Cis-Sutlej Jagir, granting A only a life interest. The Court ruled that A was not entitled to the entire compensation, affirming the arbitrator's decision to apportion the compensation between A and his son S, and to deposit the compensation for the fourth village for G's benefit. The Court clarified that interest on the compensation was not payable, aligning with Sections 23 and 32 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894.
