ISHWARLAL PREMCHAND SHAH vs STATE OF GUJARAT .

The Supreme Court addressed the entitlement of appellants to solatium, interest, and additional amounts under Sections 23(2), 28, and 23[1-A] of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894. The Court held that the agreements made between landowners and GIDC were not executed in accordance with Section 11(2) of the Act, as they lacked the necessary signatures from the Land Acquisition Officer. Consequently, the appellants were entitled to the benefits under the Act despite the prior agreements, as they did not conform to the statutory requirements.
