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, concerning the appellant's claim for compensation for a water reservoir and sluice gate on 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 upheld the principle that all claims for compensation must be fully evaluated and determined by the appropriate authority, ensuring fair compensation for acquired property.
