Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's enhancement of compensation for acquired lands under the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, specifically referencing Section 4(1) and Section 6. The Court found that the High Court correctly applied the capitalization method for valuation, rejecting the appellants' claim that their valuation was improperly restricted. The Court affirmed the market value set by the High Court at Rs. 75,600/- per acre for irrigated lands and Rs. 38,000/- per acre for dry lands, thus dismissing the appeals of the appellants.
