Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the appeal concerning land acquisition under the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, specifically referencing Section 18 regarding the right to seek a reference for enhanced compensation. The Court held that the appellant's applications challenging the acquisition were not maintainable as the award had already been made, and the appellant was not considered a 'person interested' under Section 3(b) of the Act. Consequently, the Court upheld the High Court's decision, affirming the dismissal of the appellant's claims.
