Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed appeals concerning land acquisition under the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, specifically Sections 4, 6, and 18. The Court upheld the Reference Court's valuation method but remanded the case for reconsideration of land categorization, emphasizing the need for just compensation. The outcome was a partial affirmation of the lower court's decision while allowing for further examination of the compensation awarded to landowners.
