Virender Singh And Ors. vs Union Of India (Uoi)

The Supreme Court addressed an appeal regarding the determination of market value for land acquired under the Land Acquisition Act for the planned development of Delhi. The appellants challenged the valuation affirmed by the High Court and the Reference Court. The Court upheld the finding that valuation benchmarks from an earlier acquisition (1945) were inapplicable to land acquired fourteen years later due to the significant passage of time.
