Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court remanded the matter to the High Court for a fresh decision regarding the quantum and statutory benefits under the Land Acquisition Act, specifically Sections 4 and 6. The Court emphasized the need for expeditious disposal of the appeals and directed the State Government to comply with the recommendations of two committees regarding compensation rates. The Court held that the State's decision to pay compensation based on outdated notifications was not in accordance with the law, thereby necessitating a fresh notification under Section 4(1) of the Act.
