SMT. SHAKUNTALABAI & ORS. vs STATE OF MAHARASHTRA

The Supreme Court addressed the appeal concerning the compensation awarded under the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, specifically Section 18. The Court held that the High Court erred in not considering relevant sale deeds as evidence for determining market value, which led to a manifest error of law. However, upon reviewing the evidence, the Court found that the compensation determined by the Land Acquisition Officer was appropriate and upheld the High Court's decision, thereby dismissing the appeal.
