Kamrul Islam Alvi vs State Of M.P

The Supreme Court addressed the issue of compensation under the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, specifically under Section 18, regarding the appellant's claim for compensation for a water reservoir and sluice gate on the acquired land. The Court held that the Reference Court correctly remitted the matter to the Land Acquisition Officer for reassessment of compensation, as the initial award did not adequately consider the appellant's claims. The Court emphasized the need for proper evaluation of all claims made by the appellant, including the substantial claim for the water reservoir and sluice gate.
