Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court examined the compensation awarded 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 market value at `22 per square meter but clarified that no interest under Sections 28 and 34 would be applicable on the additional compensation. The Court emphasized the importance of fair compensation in land acquisition cases, ultimately dismissing the appeals of the claimants regarding interest on the enhanced compensation.
