Union Of India (Uoi) vs Savjiram And Anr.

The Supreme Court addressed the valuation of land and structures under the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, specifically Sections 4 and 6. The Court upheld the decision of the civil court that no depreciation should be deducted from the valuation of houses, affirming that landowners are entitled to full compensation without a 5% deduction. The Court dismissed the Union of India's appeal, reinforcing the principle that the current market value should be determined without depreciation for structures.
