JHANDOO (DEAD) BY LRS. & ORS. vs UNION OF INDIA

The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal challenging the Delhi High Court's judgment regarding compensation under the Land Acquisition Act, 1894. The Court noted that while the market value of the land could be Rs.12/- per square yard, the legal deduction for development charges was not considered in the prior award. The Court clarified that appeals under Section 54 of the Act are not maintainable in the Supreme Court, and any further appeal must be under Article 136 of the Constitution. The appeal was dismissed as there were no grounds for interference.
