THE STATE OF PUNJAB vs GURDIAL SINGH ETC.WITHCIVIL MISCELLANEOUS PETITION NO. 6336

The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal concerning land compensation under the Land Acquisition Act, noting that the determination of Rs. 70,000 per acre was based on a prior decision in State of Punjab v. Chand Singh, which was not part of the record. The Court emphasized the lack of material to assess the appropriateness of the flat rate compensation, leading to the dismissal of the appeal without costs. The judgment highlights the importance of having complete records for proper adjudication under Section 4(1) of the Land Acquisition Act.
