G.M., O.N.G.C. Ltd vs Sendhabhai Vastram Patel & Ors

The Supreme Court held that the Reference Court's reliance on a single witness's testimony, while ignoring the relevant deeds of sale, constituted a jurisdictional error under the Land Acquisition Act. The Court emphasized that the determination of compensation must consider all available evidence, including market value established through previous sales. The appeal was allowed, overturning the High Court's dismissal of the appellant's claims and remanding the matter for proper consideration of evidence under Section 11 of the Act.
