BILKIS vs STATE OF MAHARASHTRA .

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 from Rs.650/- to Rs.500/- per Aar, emphasizing that non-agricultural permission alone does not justify treating the 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 trees warranting additional compensation, thus maintaining the lower court's rulings.
