Sarup Singh & Anr vs Union Of India & Anr

The Supreme Court addressed appeals concerning land acquisition under Section 4 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, specifically regarding the entitlement to enhanced solatium and interest rates post-amendment by Act 68 of 1984. The Court held that the High Court's order enhancing solatium from 15% to 30% and interest from 6% to 9% was valid, despite the Additional District Judge's ruling that deemed it a nullity. The Court ultimately upheld the High Court's decision, affirming the enhanced compensation for the appellants.
