Koppathi Venkati & Ors vs Land Acquisition Officer & Anr

The Supreme Court held that the High Court erred in not considering Section 28-A of the Land Acquisition Act, which mandates uniform compensation for lands acquired under a single notification. The Court emphasized that the principle of equal compensation should apply, and the High Court's decision to remand the matter without acknowledging the previous award in O.P. No.2/90 was incorrect. The Court ultimately directed that the compensation awarded by the Reference Court be upheld, reinforcing the need for consistency in land acquisition compensation.
