Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that under Section 23(1-A) of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, a claimant is not entitled to additional compensation if the award proceedings were concluded before the introduction of Amendment Act 68 of 1984. The Court established that the executing Court lacks jurisdiction to award additional compensation or enhance interest in execution proceedings. The High Court's dismissal of the civil revision was found to be erroneous, leading to the appeal being allowed and the amended decree set aside.
