GIRDHARI vs U.O.I.

The Supreme Court addressed the enforcement of an arbitration award under Article 226 of the Constitution of India in the context of land requisition 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 modified the award by disallowing solatium and interest based on 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 clarifying the limitations on additional claims.
