Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed appeals concerning land acquisition compensation under the Land Acquisition Act, specifically referencing Section 18. The Court upheld the High Court's decision to award compensation at Rs. 212 per square yard, emphasizing the application of a belting system was inappropriate due to the land's location. The Court affirmed that the High Court's adjustments for development costs and reliance on previous judgments were justified, leading to the dismissal of the appeals filed by the State of Haryana.
