Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed appeals concerning compensation under the Land Acquisition Act, specifically referencing Section 4 and Section 6. The Court held that while the High Court's reduction of compensation was largely upheld, an additional 10% increase was warranted for the value of coconut and mango trees on the acquired land, recognizing the exceptional quality of the claimants' orchards. The judgment of the High Court was modified accordingly, affirming the enhanced compensation without costs.
