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 the market value of the acquired land was rightly increased from Rs.102/- to Rs.7,390/- per square yard, based on prevailing market rates and evidence presented by the landowners. The judgment emphasized the importance of fair compensation in land acquisition cases, aligning with the statutory provisions of the Act.
