Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the appeals concerning the quantum of compensation for land acquired under the Land Acquisition Act, 1894. The Court upheld the Division Bench's decision to increase the compensation to Rs.1,25,000/- per acre, noting that the market value was supported by sale deeds and justified the 12% annual increase over two years. The Court emphasized the importance of fair compensation in land acquisition cases, affirming the previous judgments while dismissing the appeals filed by the State of Haryana.
