Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the Punjab and Haryana High Court's determination of compensation for acquired land under the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, specifically Section 4 and Section 18. The Court found that the Division Bench correctly excluded unregistered sale agreements from consideration and distinguished the facts from previous cases, notably Sadhu Singh's case, due to differences in location and context. The Court affirmed the market value of Rs.120/- per square yard as just and reasonable compensation for the land acquired for the employees of National Fertilizers Limited.
