Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the enforcement of an arbitration award under Article 226 of the Constitution of India concerning 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. The appeals by the Union of India were dismissed as not pressed, and the compensation amount was ordered to be deposited in Court.
