Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision to award compensation of Rs. 7,000 per bigha for land with deep pits of 8 to 10 feet under the Land Acquisition Act, 1894. The Court found that the High Court had adequately considered the relevant facts and determined that the compensation was just and adequate, rejecting the appellant's claim for further enhancement. The appeal was dismissed as there was no compelling material to warrant interference with the High Court's ruling.
