Girdhari & Ors vs Union Of India & Ors

The Supreme Court addressed the enforcement of an arbitration award under Article 226 of the Constitution of India, specifically regarding compensation for requisitioned land under the Requisition & Acquisition of Immovable Properties Act, 1952. The Court upheld the High Court's finding that an agreement for compensation at Rs.7,000/- per bigha was valid, but clarified that solatium and interest could not be awarded based on the precedent set in Union of India v. Chajju Ram (2003 5 SCC 568). The appeals by the Union of India were dismissed as not pressed, affirming the compensation amount while modifying the award concerning solatium and interest.
