Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision to enhance compensation for land acquisition under the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, specifically referencing Section 4(1). The Court noted that the earlier sale instances were not applicable due to differences in the notification dates and the lack of proof for those transactions. The Court concluded that the compensation awarded by the High Court was justified and dismissed the appeals, affirming the High Court's ruling without interference.
