Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court of Calcutta's order directing the petitioner to file an application under Section 18 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, for higher compensation for non-agricultural lands. The Court clarified that the lands in question are classified as non-agricultural, allowing the appellant to seek appropriate compensation. The appeal was disposed of without costs, and the question of law raised was kept open for future consideration.
