Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal under Article 136, clarifying that appeals under the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, specifically Section 54, must be directed to the High Court against the reference Court's award. The Court noted that while the appellant's claim for compensation at Rs.12/- per square yard was plausible, the legal deduction for development charges was not considered in the prior judgment. Ultimately, the Court found no grounds for interference with the High Court's decision, affirming the compensation awarded.
