Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court addressed the appeals regarding compensation under the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, specifically Section 4 and Section 6. The Court found that the High Court erred in reducing the compensation based on speculative transactions and upheld the market value of the land at Rs. 2.38 per sq. ft., rejecting the High Court's deduction of Rs. 0.50 per sq. ft. The Court emphasized the need for fair compensation, ultimately ruling in favor of the claimants.
