Kiran Tandon vs Allahabad Development Authority & Anr

The Supreme Court addressed the appeals against the Allahabad High Court's judgment modifying compensation awarded under the Land Acquisition Act, specifically Section 4(1) and Section 30. The Court upheld the High Court's determination of the market value of the land at Rs. 500 per square yard but modified the apportionment of compensation, ruling that the claimant, holding only leasehold rights, was entitled to 50% of the compensation. The Court further clarified the valuation of the building and trees, ultimately affirming the High Court's decision with adjustments to the compensation amounts.
