M.Buggappa (D)Thr.Lrs.& Ors vs Land Acq.Officer-Cum-Mandal ...

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision regarding compensation under the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, specifically addressing Section 23(1A) and Section 28. The Court clarified that additional amounts under Section 23(1A) can only be awarded from the date of the notification under Section 4(1), not from the date of possession, thus affirming the High Court's ruling that denied additional compensation for periods prior to the notification date. The Court also ruled that interest cannot be awarded from a date prior to the preliminary notification, aligning with precedents set in R.L. Jain and Special Land Acquisition Officer cases.
