Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the appeal concerning the compensation awarded under the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, specifically referencing Section 54 and Section 23(1)(a). The Court established that the entitlement to additional market value and interest from the date of possession until the award date is a right under the Act, which the High Court erroneously denied. The Supreme Court reversed the High Court's decision, reinstating the entitlement to additional market value and interest as per the statutory provisions.
