Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the application of Section 28A of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, which allows for redetermination of compensation based on previous awards. The Court clarified that the compensation must be recalculated according to the final decree modified by the Supreme Court, rather than the original decree of the Reference Court. The appeals by the Union of India were dismissed, affirming the High Court's decision to reject the writ petitions due to delay in filing.
