Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court reviewed the dismissal of Special Leave Petitions concerning land acquisition under the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, specifically Section 4(1) and Section 18. The Court held that the compensation awarded by the Collector at Rs.7,000 per bigha was justified, as the petitioner failed to accept the earlier agreed rate of Rs.55,000 per bigha. The Court dismissed the Review Petitions, affirming the High Court's decision to restore the Collector's compensation award.
