Des Raj (Deceased) Through L.Rs. & Ors vs Union Of India & Anr

The Supreme Court held that under Section 28-A of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, appellants are entitled to the same compensation as awarded to similarly situated claimants, specifically Pratap Singh and others. The Court emphasized that the legislative intent is to ensure equal compensation for similarly placed individuals. However, since the appellants did not challenge the High Court's judgment dated 11.10.1984, which had become final, their appeal for enhanced compensation was dismissed.
