Krishi Utpadan Mandi Samiti Sahaswan ... vs Mohammed Ibrahim & Anr

The Supreme Court held that in cases of land acquisition, the market value must be determined based on credible evidence rather than relying solely on administrative orders or valuations by officials. In this instance, the Court awarded a uniform market value of Rs. 24.64 per sq. yard for the lands acquired under the same notification, as established in a related case (Civil Appeal No. 7463 of 1997). The appeals were disposed of without costs, emphasizing the necessity for evidence in establishing land value.
