Bilkis & Ors vs State Of Maharashtra & Ors

The Supreme Court addressed the compensation for land acquired under the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, specifically citing Section 4(1) and Section 6. The Court upheld the High Court's decision to reduce the compensation for the acquired land to Rs.500/- per Aar, emphasizing that non-agricultural permission alone does not classify the entire land as non-agricultural without actual use. The Court affirmed the findings of the Reference Court regarding the claimant's inability to prove the existence of structures or business, thus denying further compensation claims.
