Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court disposed of the appeal by recording a compromise reached between the parties regarding the distribution of compensation under the Land Acquisition Act. The Court emphasized that the compromise, which allocates 65% of the compensation to the respondents and 35% to the appellants, is binding and was made voluntarily. The Court directed that the Compromise Memo be included in the judgment and that the parties may withdraw the compensation available with the Land Acquisition Officer as per the agreed terms under Section 18 of the Land Acquisition Act.
