MIR SINGH & ORS. vs UNION OF INDIA

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision to award compensation for land acquisition under Section 4(1) of the Land Acquisition Act at a uniform rate of Rs.12,000/- per bigha, rejecting the appellants' claim for higher compensation based on the time lapse since the notification in the Sanwalia case. The Court found no justification to distinguish the appellants' case from others, affirming the High Court's ruling. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed without costs.
