STATE OF GUJARAT ETC. vs VAKHTSINGHJI SURSINGHJI VAGHELA & ORS. ETC.

The Supreme Court held that the right to pay reduced jama under the Bombay Taluqdari Abolition Act, 1949 does not constitute a compensable right under Section 14, as it does not amount to the transference of land ownership. The Court clarified that the Collector must follow the procedures outlined in the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 for determining compensation, including the provision for a 15% solatium under Section 23(2). The appeals from the State of Gujarat were dismissed, affirming the lower courts' decisions regarding compensation claims.
