Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's order directing the Execution Court to fix the value of improvements under Section 5(3) of the Kerala Compensation for Tenants Improvements Act, 1959. The Court established that the Execution Court must conduct a supplementary inquiry to determine additional compensation for improvements made after the decree. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the lower courts' decisions regarding the entitlement of the respondents to compensation for improvements.
