CHANDER BHAN vs UNION OF INDIA

The Supreme Court addressed the appeals regarding compensation for land acquisition under the Land Acquisition Act, 1984, specifically referencing Section 4 and Section 18. The Court upheld the High Court's assessment of the market value of the acquired land at Rs. 13,000 per bigha, rejecting the appellants' claim for a higher valuation based on prior case law, including Gokal Vs. State of Haryana. The Court concluded that the principles from Gokal's case did not support the appellants' argument for increased compensation, thus affirming the High Court's decision.
