RAJ KUMAR vs HARYANA STATE .

The Supreme Court upheld the compensation awarded under the Land Acquisition Act, specifically referencing Section 4 and Section 6, affirming the Reference Court's valuation of Rs. 235/- per square yard for lands in Hisar and Rs. 135/- per square yard for lands in Satrod Khurd and Satrod Khas. The Court found that the Reference Court had appropriately considered the agricultural nature of the land and its potential for development. The appeals by both the State and claimants were addressed, with the Court agreeing that the disparity in compensation rates for different estates was unjustified, leading to a modification of the compensation awarded.
