Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the compensation awarded under the Land Acquisition Act, specifically referencing Section 4 and Section 6 notifications. The Court established that market value can be determined using comparable sale deeds, affirming the High Court's decision to set compensation at Rs. 170 per sq. yard based on market trends and local development. The judgment confirmed the importance of considering both historical sale prices and current market conditions in determining fair compensation for acquired land.
