NAWAL SINGH & ORS. ETC. ETC. vs UNION OF INDIA ETC. ETC.

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's enhancement of compensation under the Land Acquisition Act, specifically referencing Section 4(1) and Section 18. The Court established that the price of a small parcel of land cannot solely determine compensation for a larger tract, and found no legal basis to further enhance compensation by 25% for mortgagees as done by the High Court. Consequently, the appeals for enhanced compensation were dismissed without costs.
