Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the Delhi High Court's decision to enhance the compensation for land acquired under the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, specifically referencing Section 54 for appeals regarding compensation. The Court affirmed that the market value of the land should reflect current market rates, leading to an increase from Rs.102/- to Rs.7,390/- per square yard. The ruling emphasized the importance of fair compensation in land acquisition cases, ensuring that landowners receive just remuneration for their property.
