Judgment text excerpt
The Court examined the constitutional validity of the Defence of India Act, 1971, specifically regarding the absence of provisions for solatium and interest in land acquisition. The central issue was whether this omission violated Article 14 of the Constitution of India. The case involves the compulsory acquisition of lands in Bhatinda for the establishment of a military cantonment.
