Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the appeal concerning the valuation of trees in a land acquisition case under the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, specifically referencing Section 4(1) and Section 18. The Court upheld the Division Bench's finding that an appeal against the amendment of the decree was not maintainable, affirming that the learned single Judge's correction of the decree was erroneous. The Court concluded that the valuation determined by the Land Acquisition Officer should be accepted, thereby dismissing the appeal.
