Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed appeals concerning the acquisition of 3512.33 acres of land under Section 4 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, for the extension of the Amritsar Cantonment. The Court upheld the compensation rates determined by the Additional District Judge, which varied based on land categories, and emphasized the need for uniformity in compensation based on the potentiality and connectivity of the lands. The judgment confirmed the market value of the lands, ensuring fair compensation for the claimants, and dismissed the appeals challenging the lower court's decision.
