G. NARAYAN RAO vs LAND AQN. OFFICER, A.P.

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision regarding compensation for land acquired under the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, specifically referencing Section 4(1). The Court established that the absence of vendor or vendee testimony regarding sale deeds rendered them untested and unreliable for determining compensation. The Court affirmed the High Court's finding that the reference Court erred in relying on these documents without proper evidence, thus maintaining the compensation rate set by the High Court at Rs.32,000 per acre.
