Judgment text excerpt
The case concerns the consistency of compensation awards for land acquired under a single preliminary notification. The appellant challenged a lower compensation award after other co-owners of similarly acquired land had their enhanced compensation confirmed by a District Court and paid by the government. The legal issue revolves around whether the High Court should maintain uniformity in compensation when the State has already accepted a specific valuation for other parcels of the same acquisition.
