Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the application of Section 28A of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, affirming that compensation must be redetermined based on the final decree modified by the Court, rather than the original decree of the Reference Court. The Court clarified that the Union of India’s challenge to the redetermination orders was dismissed due to delay, as the writ petitions were filed in 1995, well after the compensation was redetermined in 1990. Consequently, the appeals were dismissed, affirming the High Court's ruling.
