Collector, Land Acquisition & Anr vs Jaswant Singh & Ors

The Supreme Court held that the Executing Court cannot go beyond the decree as established in Gurpreet Singh Vs. Union of India (2006 (8) SCC 457) and Sunder Vs. Union of India (2001 (7) SCC 211). It clarified that interest on solatium can only be claimed in pending executions and not in closed executions, and the execution court must adhere to the findings of the Reference Court regarding interest. The matter was remitted to the High Court for reconsideration in light of these principles.
