Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court allowed the appeals against the High Court's dismissal of First Appeals for enhancement of compensation for land acquisition, holding that the High Court failed to consider an application for additional evidence under Order 41 Rule 27 of the Code of Civil Procedure. The Court set aside the impugned order and remitted the cases back to the High Court for a fresh decision on merits, including the additional evidence application. The High Court is directed to resolve the appeals within three months.
