Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed appeals concerning land acquisition under the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, specifically Section 4(1) and Section 18. The Court upheld the High Court's enhancement of compensation for acquired land, determining that the market value should be Rs.1,90,000/- per acre based on prior sales and market conditions. The Court affirmed the principle that compensation must reflect fair market value, leading to the dismissal of the appeals against the High Court's decision.
