KASTURI vs STATE OF HARYANA

The case involves multiple appeals and special leave petitions concerning the determination of fair compensation for land acquired by the State of Haryana under the Land Acquisition Act, 1894. The primary legal issue is whether the enhancement of compensation awarded by the Reference Court under Section 18 of the Act was justified relative to the Collector's original award.
