Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court examined the validity of land acquisition under the Land Acquisition Act, specifically addressing the claims of compensation for two plots of land. The Court held that the appellants, representing Kashi Nath Dawn, failed to establish a valid title to the properties in question, which were claimed by Bhaktabala Dasi and her sister. The judgment of the Calcutta High Court was upheld, affirming the compensation awarded to the respondents under Section 4 and Section 6 of the Land Acquisition Act.
