Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision regarding compensation for land acquired under the Land Acquisition Act, specifically under Section 4(1). The Court noted that the Additional District Judge had awarded varying compensation rates, which were subsequently reduced by the High Court to a flat rate of Rs.70,220 per acre. The Court found insufficient material to warrant interference with the High Court's order, leading to the dismissal of the appeals without costs.
