Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed appeals concerning land acquisition under the Land Acquisition Act, specifically Sections 4 and 6. The Court upheld the Reference Court's compensation of Rs. 235/- per square yard for lands in Hisar but found the compensation of Rs. 135/- per square yard for lands in Satrod Khurd and Satrod Khas unjustified, enhancing it to Rs. 175/- per square yard. The Court emphasized the need to consider the potential value of agricultural lands within municipal limits when determining compensation.
