Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision regarding compensation for land acquisition under the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, specifically referencing Section 54 and Section 18. The Court affirmed that the principle of res judicata applied, as previous judgments regarding compensation for neighboring lands were binding. The appeals by the Appellants were dismissed, while the Respondents' cross-objections for enhanced compensation were partially allowed.
