SARDAR JOGENDRA SINGH (D) BY LRS. vs STATE OF U.P.

The Supreme Court upheld the compensation awarded for land acquisition at Rs.3 per sq.ft., affirming the High Court's decision which increased the interest rate from one year post-possession. The Court noted that the market value was determined based on a previous award and a cumulative increase of 10% per annum was justified. The Court rejected the Parishad's argument for a 30% deduction for development charges, stating that no such deduction is warranted under the law.
