Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed an appeal against the Guwahati High Court's dismissal of a review application concerning land acquisition under the Land Acquisition Act, 1894. The Court held that the principles of res judicata apply, affirming that the appellant's claim for compensation was barred due to prior adjudication. The Court upheld the compensation rate of Rs. 55,000 per bigha for patta land as determined by the State Government, thereby dismissing the appeal.
