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 correctly assessed the market value of the land, with Khasra No. 804 at Rs. 800 per Kanal and Khasra No. 805 at Rs. 720 per Kanal, and that the High Court's enhancement to Rs. 1000 and Rs. 900 respectively was justified. The Court found no merit in the appellant's claim for further increased compensation, affirming the lower courts' findings and dismissing the appeal.
