MUZEBUDDEEN vs STATE OF M.P.

The Supreme Court held that the High Court's reduction of compensation from Rs.25,000/- to Rs.20,000/- per acre lacked justification and was uncalled for. The Court restored the Reference Court's order granting compensation at the original rate of Rs.25,000/- per acre along with statutory benefits. The State of Madhya Pradesh was directed to pay the adjusted amount within three months, allowing the appeals and disposing of them accordingly.
