Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the order of the civil court enhancing compensation for land acquisition was not binding on the appellants, as they were not parties to the original proceedings. The Court emphasized the need for the High Court to adjudicate the writ petition alongside the appeal filed by the Land Acquisition Officer, thereby ensuring that the appellants' rights are protected until the matter is resolved. The Court set aside the interim order of the High Court and restored the writ petition for consideration with the connected appeals.
