UNION OF INDIA vs RIISAL SINGH

The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal arising from the Delhi High Court's judgment regarding compensation under the Land Acquisition Act, 1894. The Court noted that the Land Acquisition Officer had initially awarded compensation rates of Rs. 17,000 and Rs. 14,000 per Bigha, which were later enhanced by the civil court to Rs. 20,000 and Rs. 25,000 per Bigha. The Court declined to examine the merits of reducing the compensation, as the appellants failed to provide sufficient details regarding the related appeals, allowing the previous judgments to stand. The appeal was dismissed with liberty for the appellants to seek review if they can substantiate their claims later.
