THE EXECUTIVE DIR. vs SARAT CHANDRA BISOI

The Supreme Court addressed the compensation for land acquired under the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, specifically evaluating the rates for Sarad-I Dofasali and Taila lands. The Court upheld the trial court's assessment of annual yield for Sarad land but modified the multiplier from 20 to 16, resulting in a compensation of Rs.32,000 per acre. For Taila land, the Court endorsed the High Court's categorization and belting system for determining compensation, remanding the case for further inquiry into specific land categories.
