Devinder Singh & Ors vs State Of Punjab & Ors

The Supreme Court held that the deduction of Rs.44,85,179/- and Rs.11,00,000/- from the refund to the applicant was unjustified, as the State Government's faulty notification for land acquisition had been quashed. The Court clarified that the applicant had no role in the issuance of the notification and thus should receive the full refund. The applications were disposed of accordingly, with no order as to costs.
