Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the High Court regarding compensation for land acquired under the Land Acquisition Act, 1894. The Court noted that the reference court had appropriately assessed the market value of the land, fixing it at Rs.800 per Kanal for Khasra no. 804 and Rs.720 per Kanal for Khasra no. 805, based on comparable sales. The Court found no merit in the appellant's claim for increased compensation, affirming the High Court's enhancement to Rs.1000 and Rs.900 per Kanal respectively, and dismissed the appeal.
