Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the Allahabad High Court's direction under Section 23(1-A) of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, mandating the Housing Commissioner to provide funds for additional compensation to the respondent. The Court emphasized the obligation of the authorities to ensure timely payment of compensation, noting that similar payments had been made to other landowners. The judgment reinforced the principle that all affected parties should receive equitable treatment in compensation matters, leading to the dismissal of the appeal against the High Court's order.
