THE U.P. JAL NIGAM, LUCKNOWTHROUGH ITS CHAIRMAN & ANR. vs M/S. KALRA PROPERTIES (P) LTD.,LUCKNOW & ORS.

The Supreme Court reviewed the orders related to land acquisition under the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, specifically addressing the manifest errors of law in the compensation determination. The Court set aside previous orders and revived the main appeal, emphasizing that the compensation assessed at Rs. 200 per square foot was erroneous given the market value determined for stamp duty at Rs. 80 per square yard. The Court held that the compensation should reflect the actual market value and directed the appropriate adjustments to be made accordingly.
