State Of West Bengal vs Bireswar Dutta Estate Private Ltd

The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Division Bench regarding the appellant's wrongful possession of premises and the determination of mesne profits. The Court affirmed the Commissioner’s report setting mesne profits at Rs.8/- per sq.ft. from 8.10.1994 to 31.8.1998 and Rs.9.50 per sq.ft. thereafter, rejecting the appellant's objections for lack of evidence submission. The Court held that the appellant had sufficient opportunities to present its case and the determination of mesne profits was valid under the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, specifically Sections 4(1), 6, and 16, with no grounds for interference found in the report.
