KENDRIYA KARAMCHARI S.G.N.SAMITI LTD. vs STATE OF U.P.

The Supreme Court addressed appeals challenging the Allahabad High Court's judgment regarding land acquisition under the Land Acquisition Act, 1894. The Court held that the appellant, Kendriya Karamchari Sehkari Grah Nirman Samiti Ltd., was entitled to enhanced compensation under Section 28A of the Act, as it had not been able to file a Reference under Section 18. The Court affirmed the lower court's decision to enhance compensation to Rs.148.75 per sq. yd. with additional solatium and interest, thereby ensuring equitable treatment for the Samiti as a landowner.
