Savitri Cairae vs U.P. Avas Evam Vikas Parishad And Anr

The Supreme Court addressed appeals concerning land acquisition under the Uttar Pradesh Avas Evam Vikas Parishad Adhiniyam, 1965, specifically examining the validity of compensation awarded under the Land Acquisition Act. The Court upheld the High Court's decision to enhance solatium from 15% to 30% and interest rates, affirming the Reference Court's compensation increase while addressing the Parishad's arguments regarding the applicability of the Adhiniyam versus the Land Acquisition Act. The judgment clarified that the provisions of the Adhiniyam are not ultra vires Article 14 of the Constitution, thus reinforcing the legal framework for land acquisition and compensation in Uttar Pradesh.
