Gaon Sabha And Anr vs Nathi And Ors

The Supreme Court addressed the disputes arising from land acquisition proceedings under the Land Acquisition Act, specifically Sections 4(1), 6, and 30. The Court held that the Gaon Sabha was entitled to compensation for the land classified as Gair Mumkin Pahar, rejecting the High Court's reliance on a prior judgment that favored private respondents. The Court emphasized the need for a proper examination of the rights to compensation, ultimately allowing the appeals by the Gaon Sabha and Union of India.
