Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the High Court regarding compensation under the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, specifically Section 23. The Court ruled that nursery plants could be removed and sold, thus no compensation was warranted for them. The assessment of the land's market value at Rs. 16 per sq. yd. was affirmed, and the claim for enhanced compensation for mother trees was rejected as the appellants did not dispute the assessed value and withdrew their claim for the land's value.
