Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the appeals concerning land acquisition for the Indore Dewas Four Lane Road under the Land Acquisition Act, 1894. The Court upheld the High Court's decision to increase compensation to Rs. Six Lakhs per hectare, emphasizing that the lands were contiguous and should be valued uniformly. The Court affirmed the principle that compensation must reflect the market value of the land, thus supporting the landowners' claims for enhanced compensation.
