Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court ruled that under the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, the execution Court lacks jurisdiction to award compensation to non-parties to the original award. The petitioners, Ramesh Singh and Hari Singh, sought enhanced compensation based on a separate reference made by Rumal Singh, but their application was dismissed. The Court held that since the petitioners had already availed themselves of the remedy under Section 18, they could not seek relief under Section 28A. The High Court's interference in the execution Court's order was deemed erroneous, leading to the dismissal of the petitioners' claims.
