Union Of India (Uoi) vs Munshi Ram (Dead) By Lrs. And Ors.

The Supreme Court upheld the application of Section 28A of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, affirming that compensation for land acquisition must be redetermined based on the final decree modified by the court, rather than the original decree. The Court clarified that the redetermination of compensation is valid for those who did not appeal under Section 18 but sought compensation within the prescribed period. The appeals by the Union of India challenging the High Court's dismissal of writ petitions were dismissed, affirming the compensation awarded to the respondents.
