The Supreme Court upheld the Karnataka High Court's decision regarding compensation under the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, specifically referencing Section 4 and Section 6 for notifications and Section 18 for compensation determination. The Court established that prices of small plots cannot be reliably used to determine the value of larger agricultural land, affirming that the market value must be assessed based on comparable properties. The appeals for enhancement of compensation were dismissed, maintaining the High Court's valuation of Rs.4,00,000 per acre.
