Shaik Imambi vs Spl.Dy.Collector.(Land ...

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision to assess the annual income from lime trees at Rs.100/- per tree, applying a multiplier of 10 for compensation calculation, as opposed to the Land Acquisition Officer's multiplier of 14. The Court reiterated that while a higher multiplier may be applied in special circumstances, no such circumstances were established in this case. The Court affirmed the High Court's increase in compensation by Rs.1,52,200/- based on the revised income assessment, thus dismissing the appellant's appeal.
