Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the calculation of damages for property occupation under the Land Acquisition Act, specifically referencing Sections 4, 6, and 17. The Court held that the arbitrator's award on damages, which considered various factors influencing rental value, was reasonable and should not be set aside unless based on a wrong legal proposition. The Court emphasized that the arbitrator's findings on jurisdiction are binding only if a specific question of law was referred to him, affirming the validity of the arbitrator's award in this case.
