Mansoor Ali vs Spl.Land Acquisition Officer

The Supreme Court held that the calculation of compensation for land acquisition was flawed due to the incorrect assumption of sugarcane price at Rs.117 per metric tonne instead of the correct Rs.236 per metric tonne as per the sugar factory's certificate. The Court found that the reference Court's yield assumption was also incorrect and that the entire matter required reassessment with the opportunity for further evidence. Consequently, the Court set aside the judgments of the High Court and reference Court, remitting the case for re-evaluation of market value in accordance with law, emphasizing expedited proceedings due to the age of the matter.
