Nadirsha Shapurji Patel (D) By Lrs. ... vs Deputy Collector & La & Anr

The Supreme Court addressed appeals concerning land acquisition under the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, specifically Sections 4, 6, 18, 23(1-A), and 28. The Court upheld the High Court's determination of compensation at ` 22 per square meter, while clarifying that no interest under Sections 28 and 34 would be payable on the additional compensation awarded. The judgment reinforced the principle that compensation must reflect the market value at the time of acquisition, and the appeals were partly allowed, affirming the High Court's decision with respect to compensation but modifying the interest provisions.
