Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision regarding compensation under the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, specifically addressing Section 23(1A). The Court clarified that additional amounts can only be awarded from the date of the notification under Section 4(1) and not from the date of possession. The Court also affirmed that interest under Section 28 cannot be awarded prior to the date of preliminary notification, thus validating the High Court's correction of the interest payment date to 3.7.1990.
